Medicare health and drug plans can make changes each year—things like cost, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in their networks. October 15 to December 7 is when all people with Medicare can change their Medicare health plans and prescription drug coverage for the following year to better meet their needs.
For the 2018 Medicare open enrollment toolkit and Plan Finder resources, go to CMS.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Training/CMSNationalTrainingProgram/National-Training-Program-Resources.html. For plan information or to compare plans, go to Medicare.gov's Plan Finder
