Seniors have one more day to make changes to their Medicare plans, including picking a new Medicare Advantage plan, with open enrollment for the program closing at the end of December 7.
One error Johnson sees often is seniors picking an Advantage plan based on low premiums or freebies, such as a grocery allowance.
On the other hand, many Medicare Advantage plans include vision and dental benefits, which traditional Medicare doesn't cover, so seniors will need to weigh which factors are most important to them. It's not the only chance to make changes for seniors who are already enrolled in Medicare Advantage. People already in these plans can also switch their Advantage plan between January 1 and March 31, although they can only switch plans once during thatBut experts caution seniors against rushing into a Medicare Advantage plan with the hopes of saving money or getting freebies like gym memberships.
