It is indeed that time again. It is your annual your chance to make changes to your Medicare coverage. Medicare Open Enrollment (a.k.a AEP, Annual Election Period) is October 15–December 7. This is your opportunity to go over your health care coverage and see if you need to make any changes for next year. And, you may even decide you’re okay with the plan you have now.
