Annual Notice of Change

What is the "Annual Notice of Changes" (ANOC) Letter?

If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, you might receive an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter this fall depending on your current coverage. This document is crucial for understanding changes in your Medicare insurance plan for the upcoming year. It’s issued by your Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription drug plan and outlines any adjustments in costs, coverage, and benefits for your plan beginning on January 1st.

The ANOC letter typically arrives in September or October and serves as a key resource for planning your healthcare needs. It details changes in your premium, deductibles, co-pays, and the drugs covered under your plan. For Medicare Advantage plans, it may also include modifications to your network of doctors or covered services.

To make the most of your ANOC letter, carefully review it to ensure your plan still meets your needs. Compare the new plan details with your current coverage and consider if it’s still the best option for you. If the changes are significant, or if you have concerns, as agents, we can help you assess your plan options during the Annual Enrollment Period from October 15 to December 7.

Keep an eye out for your ANOC letter as it is a valuable tool to help you stay informed and make adjustments to your coverage if necessary.
