Each year, there are changes in the Medicare Part A and B deductibles, premiums, and co-pays.  These changes are affected by the Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment or COLA.  In addition, Medicare often adds new benefits that affect care and coverage.

Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage Plans annually have changes that affect beneficiaries including additional benefits, premiums, and coverage areas.  Sometimes companies add or change specific plans. Some companies leave the service area forcing members to select a new health insurance plan.

Medicare Part D or Prescription Drug Plans annually make changes in the standard benefit, the coverage gap, and the out-of-pocket expenses. The companies that offer coverage in Colorado often change or new companies enter the market. Starting in 2025, there is a new $2,000 maximum cap on out-of-pocket prescription expenses, and beneficiaries can also elect to pay those costs over time.

Medicare beneficiaries should do comparison shopping to learn more about the specific coverages provided by different companies.
