WPS Health Insurance, Wisconsins Largest Not-for-Profit Medicare Part D Provider, Reminds Seniors That Medicares Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) Begins and Ends Earlier This Year
Madison, Wisconsin (PRWEB) August 31, 2011
WPS Health Insurance, Wisconsins leading not-for-profit health insurer and provider of Medicare Part D plans and Medicare supplement plans, reminds Medicare beneficiaries that Medicares Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) begins October 15 and ends December 7 this year, a full month earlier than in prior years.
Medicares AEP is when seniors may enroll or change Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, or return to Original Medicare, said Tom Olson, senior vice president of sales and marketing at WPS Health Insurance. This fall, Medicares AEP will begin October 15 and end December 7, almost a full month earlier than previous years. This is an important change, as many seniors have become accustomed to the November 15 to December 31 dates of prior AEPs.
The shift in dates is the result of recent health care reform through the Affordable Care Act of 2010. It is critical for seniors who are currently enrolled in a plan to make their enrollment selections during this new AEP if they wish to change their coverage for 2012, said Olson.
As a result of the change to AEP dates, seniors enrolled in MA plans, MA-PDs (Medicare Advantage plans that provide coverage for prescription drugs), and PDPs should receive their Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and Evidence of Coverage (EOC) documents for contract year 2012 by September 30, 2011. WPS encourages seniors to read their ANOCs carefully to make sure their current plans will meet their health and budget requirements in 2012.
Medicare drug plans change every yearthe benefits can change, costs can change, entire plans can be terminatedand there can be real consequences for seniors who dont make adjustments during the AEP. By reviewing their Annual Notice of Change documents and comparison-shopping with other plans, Wisconsin seniors can make better, more informed and cost-effective choices.
Forty-five years of experience serving seniors on Medicare.
WPS has served seniors on Medicare since the program began in 1966.

WPS encourages seniors who have Medicare-specific questions to visit the Medicare website at http://www.medicare.gov or call 1 800 MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
