Under Publicized, Medicare Open-Enrollment Period
A little-known, under
publicized, Medicare open-enrollment period that begins this Sunday, April 1st,
could an unpleasant April Fool’s Day for seniors considering switching health
plans, experts warn. The period which opens on Sunday is Called the
"limited open enrollment period," and it allows people currently
enrolled in the traditional Medicare program to sign up for Medicare Advantage
plans that don't include drug coverage. Open enrollment runs from Sunday
through December. Many Medicare beneficiaries are not familiar with the
Medicare Advantage program and some senior advocates fear thousands of seniors
could lose their drug coverage or switch to more expensive health insurance if
they don't do their homework. Because some insurers are offering lower premiums
and co-pays as well as perks such as eye exams, hearing aids and acupuncture
treatments, there's ample incentive to switch. "This danger isn't being
widely publicized at all," said David Lipschutz, staff attorney with
California Health Advocates, which helps seniors understand Medicare benefits
told the Oakland Tribune.
