Are you satisfied with your Medicare Advantage plan? If not, there may be other plan options available, you have until February 14th, 2018 to make a switch.
Remind me…what is a MADP Plan?
A Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as Medicare Part C) usually includes a drug plan for prescription drug coverage. For details, check out our full breakdown of Medicare plans.
Why would I want to change my plan?
There are several factors in which you would want to change your plan. Here are a few examples.
- Your Doctor is not in network
- Your medications are not covered
- Are you able to travel?
