About this event
Medicare Open Enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7, and the choices you make now take effect January 1, 2027. Do you know what’s changing for next year and what to review before the window closes?
2027 brings several notable changes, especially for prescription drug coverage. A temporary federal program that helped hold down premiums for stand-alone Part D plans is ending, the Part D deductible and out-of-pocket cap are both going up, and many people may see fewer Medicare Advantage plans available in their area.
At Milestone Financial Planning, we want to help you understand what’s changing, what to look for, and what to consider when reviewing your coverage. This live session is open to everyone and especially relevant for those already on Medicare. If you’re 55 or older, it’s also an opportunity to get a head start on understanding your options before you enroll.
Join us for a conversation with Marcia Mantell, RMA®, NSSA®, EPA®, as she walks through this year’s Open Enrollment season.
In this session, we cover:
• What to expect for 2027 Part B premiums and IRMAA surcharges, including how your 2025 income affects what you pay
• Part D changes for 2027, including the higher deductible and out-of-pocket cap, and the end of the Part D premium stabilization program
• How Medicare Advantage plan availability and costs are shifting
• What you can and cannot change during Open Enrollment
• Comparing Medicare Advantage with Original Medicare plus a Medigap policy
• An action plan for reviewing changes that may affect your 2027 budget
Reviewing your coverage each year can help you avoid surprises when the new plan year begins.
