Your brain is the control center of your body — controlling your thoughts, movement, talking, eating and even breathing. So it’s essential to take special care of it as you age.
We worked with @HealthyWomen and @SWHR on the Brain Health chapter of our “Savvy and 65” Medicare guide, which explains what you need to know about Medicare coverage to keep your brain healthy and manage conditions like Alzheimer's disease: bit.ly/4gx84EM

"It’s really important to ensure that when you’re looking for help that it’s from someone who is licensed to do so; knowing if they’re attached to a broker or program, for example. So utilizing the unbiased and free help from a SHIP is important in finding the right match without outside pressure."

"There’s a lot of decision fatigue – even if your plan is not going away, there’s a lot of motivation and research needed on the part of the beneficiary to understand their needs and make enrollment decisions."

“When a beneficiary is choosing a plan this year, they can see if a drug is on the plan, but they cannot see the utilization management piece…there are processes that plans engage in now that can delay treatment and that’s one of the biggest concerns.”

Bonnie Duffy encourages CMS do more education about the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan so beneficiaries will know if it’s a good option for them.

Today's panel discussion engages policy and open enrollment experts in a discussion that focuses on affordability, access and choice.
“There’s been a continued exit of standalone drugs plans form the market and what's concerning is that when we have fewer choices, there are more restrictive formularies and people may not get as much and pay slightly more than last year."
