Avisery Alert: 

Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage Considerations Checklist for the Annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period 

Avisery by AgeOptions is pleased to announce the release of the "Avisery Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage: Considerations Checklist for the Open Enrollment Period."


Avisery is aware that many professionals who work with older adults and people with disabilities may be asked for advice about whether a person should enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan during the Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period (Oct 15th - Dec 7th).


This new resource contains a checklist of questions that a professional can encourage the Medicare-eligible individual to consider and an accompanying guide that provides information to give to the individual on why these considerations are important.


The Considerations Checklist was designed for professionals who have not received formal training as Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) counselors. It may also serve as a useful desk aid for more experience counselors.


Below is the link to the "Avisery Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage: Considerations Checklist" The document combines both the checklist and guide in one place.

Avisery is also working on a version of the checklist and guide for individuals newly eligible for Medicare that can be used throughout the year, not just Open Enrollment.


As always, if you have any questions please email avisery@ageoptions.org
