(Undated)– People can enroll in Medicare or make changes to their supplemental and prescription drug coverage between now and December 7th. In Iowa, experts are also reminding people to check their options when signing up for health coverage through the federal marketplace.
Iowans on Medicare will have a two-thousand-dollar out-of-pocket cap on prescription drug costs starting next year. Prescription drug prices on insurance plans can change from year to year. The Iowa Insurance Division’s Kristin Griffith says it’s important for Medicare enrollees to pay close attention to their drug plans and their supplemental or “Medicare Advantage” plans…
UnitedHealthcare’s Doctor Rhonda Randall echoes that…
Randall and other providers remind people to look for mental health coverage options in their insurance plan, too, and whether they meet the needs of an entire family.
About 660-thousand Iowans are currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans.
For other health insurance, the open enrollment period in the federal health-care marketplace runs from this Friday to January 15h of next year.
