The deadline for Medicare Annual Enrollment or to make changes is a week away. Ann Booth of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana said anyone who has Medicare Parts A and B, on disability, or 65 and older will need to either enroll or make changes to their existing plan by next Tuesday.
“December 7th is the end of the Medicare annual enrollment period, and if they don’t choose the right plan, then they won’t have a plan for 2022,” said Booth.
Booth said choosing a plan can be difficult and overwhelming at times, but they are offering a free service to help guide you in making an educated decision about which Medicare plan is best for you.
“We have agents right here in Louisiana that can help them, so they’re not confused. There’s no cost, no-obligation but we want them to get their questions answered,” said Booth.
Booth said agents look at the three P’s in advising the ideal Medicare plan for an individual, they consider provider, pharmacy benefit, and the plan value.
“So, we want the agents to review that with the different Medicare beneficiaries so they know what is the right plan for them and that they have their right benefits in choosing a plan,” said Booth.
