Medicare Open Enrollment 2025: Don’t Miss Out on New Benefits and Prescription Savings

Medicare’s Open Enrollment period is just around the corner! This annual window is the only time you can make changes to your Medicare coverage, including your prescription (Part D) plan—for the upcoming year. Whether you’re renewing, switching, or signing up for the first time, it’s important to review your choices.

Key Changes to Medicare Prescription Plans This Year

• New Payment Plan: $2,100 Max Out-of-Pocket on Drug Costs.
  • Starting this year, all Medicare Part D plans will have a $2,100 maximum out-of-pocket cap for prescription drug
• Flexible Payment Options:
  • You can setup this limit as a monthly payment with your plan provider—allowing you to spread your costs evenly over the year instead of paying large amounts all at once.
• How to Enroll:
  • Contact your Part D plan administrator to set up your payment plan and the contact number should be on the back of your prescription card.
• Consider Your Options:
  • If your needs change, this is also a good time to shop around and compare Part D plans, make sure your specialty medications are covered, and check if you qualify for new savings.
