Medicare open enrollment: a calm checklist

Medicare by Senior Cheers Team - 2026-10-23

Each fall there is a time to review your Medicare coverage. It usually runs from October 15 to December 7, but please check medicare.gov for this year's dates.

Read the letter your plan sends about next year's changes. Check that your doctors and your medicines are still covered, and look at the costs.

You can compare plans using the Medicare Plan Finder on medicare.gov. Free counselors through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can explain your options. Take your time and do not give your number to anyone who calls you first.
