Medicare and our healthcare system are going through changes.
The baby boomers have arrived. Who ever thought when I'm 65 would come so
soon. Welcome to seniorville. If they are already enrolled in Medicare, starting in
2011 they will be entitled to a free annual physical, as well as other preventive services.
Annual enrollment for Medicare for those already enrolled is from November
15th through December 31. Give yourself or your loved one plenty of time to
review the new Medicare changes. You can go to Medicare.gov to keep up with what is
happening. The new handbook is not listed on their site yet, however it
will be sent out soon with a list of Evidence of Coverage listing their current
plan coverage and what it costs and the Annual Notice of Change which lists
changes to the plan for the coming year, beginning January 1, 2011. Seniors really need to pay
attention to this as the ability to change plans when ever they please is not an option.
