Between October 15 and December 17, we have the opportunity with Medicare Open Enrollment to change Medicare health care coverage and prescription drug plans.
Anyone on a Medicare plan should have received the Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC) outlining any changes in coverage, costs, or service area. Note any 2022 changes to your health coverage or any Extra Help you may get to pay for prescription drugs.
You don’t have to change your plan, but you should be reviewing it each year. This article from Boomer Benefits will help you make sense of the process and make a decision.

Hello all, my name is Clarissa and I’m a project coordinator at UC, Berkeley where my team and I are currently recruiting for a study testing in-home assistive technology for caregivers to those with dementia. This study is funded by the NIH and is absolutely free to participate. Participants receive $1,000 worth of technology including home monitoring sensors that can detect leaks, movement and falls. You can also earn up to $150 by completing stress-free questionnaires. I’ve been working with caregivers for the past year and a common theme I’ve noticed is how deeply this community needs more support. If anyone reading is interested in learning more or finding out if you’re eligible to participate, please visit our study website at https://research.presencefamily.com/
Clarissa,
May I share this across my social media?
