Hi, this is Julianne Dickey, We Care Medicare, your Medicare insurance advocate. Once a year, Medicare gives you this time frame from October 15th through December 7th. This is the time of year to review what you have, see if anything's changed from last year.

Your plan's drug list changes year to year. That's why the drug coverage is the first thing I look at. Have your doctors changed?

Have you seen a new specialist? Maybe you're thinking about seeing someone who's outside of your network. That also matters.

The plans change year to year. The premiums, co-pays, networks, and benefits. What fit you last year may not fit you this year.

That's exactly why Medicare gives you this time frame. So gather all of your medication lists and your doctors' names and let's review them together. This review costs you nothing.

I also offer educational workshops throughout the county. You can find locations, times, and dates on my website. Call me before December 7th and let's make sure your plan still fits your life.

Let's make Medicare make sense together.

What we cover in a workshop

We talk about the seven-month Initial Enrollment Period, what Parts A through D cover, and how Original Medicare differs from Medicare Advantage. You can ask questions without having to make a coverage decision.

There is no attendance fee. Workshop schedules can change, so register or call before attending.

Prefer a private conversation?

A private conversation gives you time to discuss your own dates, doctors, prescriptions, and coverage. Choose over coffee at an agreed location or a Zoom call from home. Julianne will arrange the time and meeting details with you directly.

Talk it through

Your questions belong here.

Julianne can help you understand how this applies to your own coverage and plans.
