How Care Resource Supports South Florida Residents
Medicare Open Enrollment 2025 runs from October 15 to December 7, offering eligible individuals in South Florida the opportunity to review, switch, or enroll in Medicare plans. Whether you’re exploring Medicare Advantage, Part D prescription drug plans, or reviewing your Original Medicare coverage, this annual period is crucial for making informed healthcare decisions.
Key Changes for Medicare in 2025
One of the most important Medicare updates for 2025 is the implementation of a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. This change may significantly reduce costs for many beneficiaries, making it even more important to evaluate your current Medicare drug coverage.
During Open Enrollment, Medicare-eligible individuals can:
- Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan, or vice versa
- Change Medicare Advantage plans
- Join, switch, or drop a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan
