Every fall, like clockwork, my inbox fills up with questions about Medicare. And I get it — the enrollment window is short, the choices are endless, and the fine print can make your head spin.
But here’s the truth: the best time to review your Medicare coverage isn’t when the turkey’s already in the oven. It’s now. Because once we hit that late-November rush, between travel, family, and football, the last thing you’ll want to think about is comparing prescription plans.
Medicare Open Enrollment runs October 15 through December 7, and it’s your once-a-year chance to make sure your health coverage still fits your life. Plans change — premiums go up, prescriptions move to different tiers, and doctors may drop certain networks. If you don’t take the time to check, you could end up paying more or losing coverage for something you really need.
Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare — and keep December focused on the fun stuff, not the forms:
- Review your current plan.
Look at what you actually used this year. Did your prescriptions change? Are you seeing new doctors? That’s your first clue whether your plan still makes sense. - Compare costs — not just premiums.
It’s easy to focus on the monthly payment, but copays, deductibles, and prescription tiers often tell the real story. - Don’t ignore the drug coverage.
Formularies (that’s the list of covered medications) can change every year. Make sure your prescriptions are still covered — or that alternatives are affordable. - Ask for help.
You don’t have to go it alone. Medicare decisions can be complicated, and what’s “best” depends entirely on your health, your lifestyle, and your finances. That’s where we come in.

That way, when the holidays roll around, you can focus on what really matters — not what your coverage does or doesn’t include.
