2024 PA MEDI Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period
The annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs from October 15 to December 7 each year.
Beneficiaries can join, switch, or drop Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Coverage. Open Enrollment is the time to take the opportunity to think about what benefits will matter and compare available options for 2025. For any changes made, new coverage will start January 1, 2025.
Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight, also known as PA MEDI, is based in PA’s local Area Agencies on Aging and is the known and trusted resource to help you understand Medicare and your coverage options. Older adults can receive unbiased, no-cost Medicare assistance from specially trained PA MEDI counselors who can walk them through their options to assist in making informed health insurance decisions that best fit their needs and budget.
Important changes to Medicare in 2025 include a new $2,000 out of pocket cap for prescription drugs, the elimination of the “donut hole” coverage gap for prescription drugs, an optional payment plan to spread out drug costs, and Medicare Part B will now cover Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention with no co-pays or deductibles.
PA MEDI Counselors do not sell insurance products, nor do they endorse or recommend any insurance company, product, or agent. PA MEDI counselors can help determine if an older adult may be eligible for any of Pennsylvania’s Medicare cost-savings programs like PACE/PACENET, Extra Help, and the Medicare Savings Programs.
Call USAA, Inc. today to make an appointment with our PA MEDI Coordinator or a PA MEDI Counselor.
For more information, call the toll-free PA MEDI Helpline at 1-800-783-7067 from 8 AM to5 PM Monday through Friday. All services are free and confidential.
