Medicare open enrollment has arrived—and so have the scammers. The annual open enrollment period, which typically runs from October 15 to December 7, allows U.S. adults already on Medicare to evaluate their current coverage and make changes to their Original Medicare enrollment, Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or private Medicare Advantage plan.

Original Medicare, the federal government’s health insurance program for older adults and people with qualifying disabilities and illnesses, features two key components: Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A generally helps cover hospital stays and nursing care while Medicare Part B helps cover outpatient and preventative health care, such as doctor visits, screenings and vaccinations, and some medical equipment.

At a certain point in life, some older adults move into assisted living facilities, housing for people who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing or taking medicines. They don’t need the skilled medical care provided in a nursing home, but rather the general assistance and personal care they might otherwise miss while living independently.

If you enrolled in an optional Medicare Part D plan in 2024 or before, at some point you probably faced a coverage gap called the “donut hole,” a temporary limit on what your Part D plan will pay for your drugs for a specified period of time. As of 2025, however, this “donut hole” will be eliminated. Instead, there will be three parts of Part D coverage for drugs: a deductible phase, an initial coverage phase and a catastrophic phase.

Medicare and Medicaid are government-backed healthcare programs that serve different groups of people and have different eligibility requirements. Some people may qualify for both programs. It’s important to understand the differences between Medicare and Medicaid and how each one works so that if you’re eligible for either or both, you can receive all the benefits offered to you.

Anyone approaching Medicare eligibility may be concerned about their future out-of-pocket spending on health care. Medicare provides basic health care coverage to adults at least 65 years old, as well as those with qualifying disabilities and illnesses. However, Original Medicare, consisting of Part A and Part B, doesn’t cover all medical costs, leaving some copays, coinsurance and other out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by budget-conscious older adults.

Medicare doesn’t cover all of your health care expenses when you turn 65. Medicare Part A covers inpatient care in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, and Medicare Part B covers outpatient care and medically necessary supplies, resulting in about 80% coverage. For the 20% not covered by Medicare, you have the option to purchase Medicare Supplement (Medigap) insurance from a private insurance company.
