You can't just keep what you have and hope it still fits.

Enrolling in Medicare isn’t the end of the journey. Plans change every January. Premiums go up, drugs get dropped, and doctors leave networks.

In 2026, major carriers pulled out of entire counties. If you haven’t reviewed your coverage, you could be paying for a plan that no longer covers what you need.

Let’s make sure your coverage still works for you.

Why you review every year.

Every January, your Part D plan can change. A drug that was covered last year may be dropped. Your premium can rise. The plan that fit you perfectly two years ago may not fit you now. Reviewing during Open Enrollment is how you stay in control instead of at the mercy of the changes.

Advantage vs Original Medicare vs Medigap.

When your employer coverage ends, a Special Enrollment Period opens for Medicare. Coordinating your enrollment with your actual retirement date, so there’s no gap and no penalty, is the whole game. Start too late and you’re exposed.

The 2026 changes you need to know about.

This year brought real changes. The Part B premium rose to $202.90 a month. Part D now has a $2,100 out-of-pocket cap that works differently than most people expect. And carriers exited entire counties, which may affect your plan directly.
