Helping South Floridians Choose Health Insurance that Best Meets Their Needs

Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for 2024 is from October 15 to December 7.

During this time, current Medicare enrollees can review and change their coverage, including Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug plans, return to Original Medicare from Medicare Advantage, or move from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage.

Just like our health, Medicare plans can change every year. Current plans may be changing.

Plus, not all plans have the same benefits and out-of-pocket costs.
The Marketplace Open Enrollment Period also runs from November 1 to January 15. In 2024, Care Resource is again focusing on increasing access to patient assistance, ensuring robust outreach and education efforts to reach consumers about the opportunity to enroll in or re-enroll in Marketplace coverage.

Those who also need Marketplace health insurance assistance include anyone who doesn’t have coverage through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP), or other qualifying coverage. Depending on income, an individual may even qualify for an insurance plan with tax credits or Medicaid/CHIP. All plans cover essential health benefits, pre-existing conditions, and preventive services.

According to Rafael Jimenez, MS, Director of Social Services with Care Resource, At Care Resource, our trained navigators help the community to find the best coverage that fits their budget while meeting their medical needs. By comparing all available options, Care Resource can help patients find a plan that offers better coverage, saves money, and reviews current plans, costs, and health needs.
