The Annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2025. During this time, participants can join, switch, or drop plans for 2026. Since Medicare plans and prices change each year, it’s important to review your coverage to ensure your prescriptions and health needs remain covered.
To help, Great River Health offers free, confidential counseling through the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). SHIIP is a statewide service that provides unbiased information to help Medicare participants understand their benefits and compare plans. Trained volunteers can answer questions, explain changes, and guide you through the enrollment process.
Appointments can be scheduled starting September 2 at Fort Madison, Keokuk, or West Burlington by calling 319-768-3342, or online at bit.ly/4mwlXVy
