Q1Medicare.com reminds seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries that the 2013 Open Enrollment Period will end on Friday, December 7, 2012. During the annual Open Enrollment Period, Medicare beneficiaries can join, change or drop their Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage plan. If Medicare beneficiaries make no decision during the annual Open Enrollment Period they will be re-enrolled into their same Medicare plan if it is still being offered in 2013. After the close of the Open Enrollment Period most people will only have a limited opportunity to change 2013 Medicare plan coverage before January 2014.
