Written by Elite Risk Advisors | Nov 19, 2025 5:33:26 PM

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs October 15–December 7. If you’re in Owensboro and want to check benefits, drug costs, or doctors in‑network, this simple checklist will keep you on track.

1) Gather your essentials

  • Your Medicare card
    • Current plan info
    • **List of medications** with dosages and preferred pharmacy
    • Your doctors and clinics

2) Decide what matters most

Rank these:
• Premium & max out‑of‑pocket
• Drug costs (copays/tiers)
• Doctor/hospital networks
• Dental/vision/hearing/extras you actually use

3) Compare calmly

We’ll help you compare **Advantage, Part D, and Medigap** options apples‑to‑apples—no pressure, clear tradeoffs. If nothing beats your current plan, staying put is perfectly fine.

4) Watch for changes

Annual **drug formulary** tweaks, network updates, and copay changes catch people off guard. A 15‑minute review now can save headaches in January.

5) Book a local review
