🩺 Medicare Open Enrollment is here — Oct. 15 to Dec. 7!

Choosing the right plan can be confusing, but it’s important to understand your options.

💡 Did you know?
✅ Medicare Advantage plans aren’t always the cheapest for seniors.
✅ You can only switch back to traditional Medicare during open enrollment.
✅ Traditional Medicare with Medigap often provides more flexibility and peace of mind — especially for care close to home.

🏥 The safest choice: Select traditional Medicare and add a Medigap supplemental policy when eligible.

That way, you can keep the doctors and hospital you know and trust — right here in your community.

📅 Don’t wait — learn more today and make a plan that works best for you!

Know the Difference: Traditional Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage

Choosing the right Medicare plan can make a big difference in how, when, and where you receive care.

Here are some key differences to consider

✅ Traditional Medicare
• See any doctor in the U.S. who accepts Medicare
• No referrals needed for specialists
• Covered anywhere you travel in the U.S.
• Your doctor decides care needs and hospital stays

⚠️ Medicare Advantage
• Limited doctor networks
• Prior approvals often required for specialists, hospital stays, or medical equipment
• Coverage restricted to certain areas
• Plans may override doctor recommendations

Take time to review your options carefully before enrolling — understanding the differences can protect your access to care and peace of mind.
