Hi, everyone. Welcome to Making Medicare Fun. I'm Ricki Stewart, a licensed independent agent serving my clients in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. In this fall episode, we delve into the upcoming annual enrollment season from October 15th to December 7th, focusing on significant changes to Medicare for 2025.

We'll break down the removal of the coverage gap (donut hole), the reduction of the maximum out-of-pocket expenses for Part D prescription drugs, and the introduction of a new prescription payment plan option. It seems these updates aim to provide more peace of mind and potentially lower your overall prescription costs.

Join me as we talk about how these changes, stemming from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, may affect your Medicare coverage and prescription expenses in 2025. Whether you're new to Medicare or a long-time beneficiary, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate the new landscape in 2025.
