Medicare Open Enrollment: What You Need to Know for 2025

Medicare Open Enrollment is just around the corner, and it’s one of the most important times of the year for anyone age 65 and older. Whether you’re already enrolled in Medicare or about to turn 65, this window is your opportunity to review your coverage, make adjustments, and ensure you’re getting the right benefits for your health and your budget.

When Is Open Enrollment?

Medicare Open Enrollment typically runs from October 15 through December 7. During this period, you can:

• Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan (or vice versa)
• Change Medicare Advantage Plans
• Enroll in or change a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan
• Add supplemental or short-term medical coverage if needed

Any changes you make during this time will take effect starting January 1, 2026.

Why This Matters

Healthcare needs change over time, and so do Medicare plans. Premiums, deductibles, and covered services can vary from year to year. Reviewing your options now could save you money and ensure you’re not surprised by gaps in coverage.

At Wilkinson, we specialize in helping our clients navigate the often-confusing Medicare landscape. We’ll walk you through your options, answer your questions, and make sure your coverage works for you—not the other way around.
