Choosing the Right Medicare Plan

Annual open enrollment for Medicare coverage in 2025 runs from October 15 to December 7, but you can also sign up for Medicare in the three months leading up to and the three months directly after you turn 65.

No matter when you sign up, finding the right Medicare plan can feel overwhelming and even impossible.

As your health partner, EvergreenHealth wants to ensure you have the resources and support you need to make the best choice for your Medicare coverage. That's why we offer a free consultation service with licensed insurance advisors that can help you learn about your options, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare, Medicare Supplement and Prescription Drug plans.

Free Medicare Insurance Helpline

We're happy to provide a resource to help you make the right decision when it comes to your Medicare coverage.

EvergreenHealth has partnered with American Senior Resources to provide a free Medicare insurance helpline that makes licensed insurance advisors available to help you:

• Verify Medicare plans accepted by your healthcare providers
• Compare Medicare plans to meet your personal needs and preferences
• Identify a Medicare prescription plan that covers all your medications at the lowest cost
• Mail or email literature for any Medicare plans of interest
• Assist you throughout the Medicare plan enrollment process

The helpline is provided to Medicare beneficiaries at no cost and with no obligation.
