Medicare’s open enrollment deadline is today. Those who’ve waited until the last minute can still find help online at Medicare.gov or by calling
1-800-MEDICARE. Consumers can switch between Medicare Advantage and
original Medicare or join or drop a Medicare prescription drug plan. If
you’ve already made a selection or decide later on down the road that you
want to make a change starting this year you can switch into an Advantage
or prescription drug plan. The old rule used to be that you’d have to
wait a whole year for the next open enrollment period.
