Medicare Open Enrollment

Nov 10, 2014

From October 15 through December 7 is Medicare's open enrollment time for changing insurance. You may be receiving offers from other Medicare plans asking you to enroll with them. If you are happy with your Retirement System plan, do not make any changes. Medicare will only allow you to be enrolled in one Medicare plan at a time, so if you join a plan outside  of the option  the Office of Retirement Services offers, you will be dropped by ORS, and have NO health  insurance  benefits  through the Retirement System. So… if you are happy with what you have, DO NOTHING.
