It's Medicare Open Enrollment season, and that usually means you'll start to see a lot of Medicare insurance ads.

Insurance companies are allowed to advertise on TV and via mail, after the approval of their ads by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They are NOT allowed to contact you via phone or come to your door, unless you have invited them to do so. The only exception to that is your current Medicare insurance provider.
