There are certain times you can sign up for Original Medicare. Since it covers most but not all health care costs, look into a Medicare Supplement Insurance plan or a Medicare Advantage plan to help cover your share of costs.

October 15 through December 7 is the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, when members can determine whether their plan will continue to meet their needs the following year. If so, coverage continues. If unsure, members should refer to their Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). After checking for plan changes, members should look at their often-used benefits, consider those they may need, figure out maximum out-of-pocket costs, and then they should call Blue Cross and Blue Shield for help in possibly adjusting their Medicare plan.
