Insurance Planning Alternatives, a Grand Junction-based independent broker agency, reminds people age 65 and older the annual open enrollment period for Medicare beneficiaries will end Dec. 7.

“Plans change from one year to the next, so it’s important to review your coverage with a licensed Medicare broker every year,” said Greg Coffman, president of IPA.

During open enrollment, Medicare beneficiaries can review, join, switch or drop certain prescription drugs and Medicare Advantage coverage.

Coffman said supplemental plans also are available to offer the most comprehensive health care coverage at the lowest price. “Signing up for Medicare Supplement plans or changing plans can seem daunting. But that’s why we are here. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way. We will review your needs and your budget to help you select the best supplement plan for you.”
