Prior to making an enrollment decision, what must beneficiaries do?

Beneficiaries must review the pre-enrollment checklist before making an enrollment decision to ensure they fully understand their options and the requirements of enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan. This checklist typically includes vital information about eligibility, covered services, costs, and deadlines, which are crucial for beneficiaries to consider in order to make an informed choice.

By reviewing the checklist, beneficiaries can avoid common pitfalls, assess their healthcare needs, and determine if the plan aligns with their expectations and budget. This preparatory step can help beneficiaries navigate the complexities of Medicare Advantage options and make selections that best suit their individual preferences and healthcare requirements. It is an essential step to maximize the benefits they can receive and ensure a smoother enrollment process.
