Medicare Open Enrollment Is Here!
Understand What’s Changing And How It Could Potentially Impact You
Annual Enrollment Period:
October 15 – December 7, 2026
Changes take effect January 1, 2027.
Your plan can look the same on the outside and change underneath
Plans do not stay frozen from one year to the next.
- Rates: Medigap and some Part D premiums have been rising. Auto-renewing can lock in a higher bill.
- Networks: Doctors and hospitals can leave a Medicare Advantage network for 2027.
- Benefits: Extra benefits (OTC, meals, transportation, fitness) are being reduced or dropped on more plans.
- Part D: Drug lists and pharmacy networks change. A medicine that was cheap this year may not be next year.
AEP is the main time most people can fix that before January 1.
What this Medicare webinar will teach you:
How to use AEP 2027 — what you can change from October 15 to December 7, 2026, what you cannot, and why missing December 7 can lock you in until next year
Why Medigap rates are rising — higher claims, medical inflation, aging risk pools, and how to compare the same plan letter across carriers
What’s changing with Part D — the temporary premium subsidy ends after 2026, while the out-of-pocket drug cap stays; how to review your 2027 drug costs
What’s shifting in Medicare Advantage — changing networks, fewer extras (OTC, meals, transportation), higher out-of-pocket limits, and plans leaving some counties
How to review your ANOC before you auto-renew — premiums, doctors, drug list, and benefits that may look the same but work differently on January 1, 2027

Ohio families rely on this educational webinar for a clear, practical review of Medicare. It is simple to join and focused on the decisions that matter for 2027.
