Title: Open Enrollment 101

Speaker:

• Christine Simone, Caribou CEO

Details: Open Enrollment is a specific time of the year when you can modify your Medicare or Marketplace coverage — if only it was that simple! There is a lot of nuance to the timing and types of changes that can be made, which offers an opportunity for advisors to showcase to clients their proactive, planning-oriented services and demonstrate value.

This session will first cover Medicare Open Enrollment, providing an overview of its pieces and parts, what they cover, and their general associated costs. With those basics understood, it will then go into the many types of modifications that can be made during Medicare Open Enrollment, running annually from Oct 15th - Dec 7th.

Following this, the session will transition to a similar structure for the Marketplace, applicable to pre-65 retirees, business owners, and dependents, covering an overview first and then applicable changes that can be made. The session will wrap up with case studies and direct cost savings opportunities of going through this exercise with clients as part of your financial planning process.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Accurately recall the dates and timelines of the Open Enrollment period for both Medicare and the Marketplace.
• Identify changes that are possible during the Medicare Open Enrollment period.
• Identify changes that are possible during the Marketplace Open Enrollment period.
• Understand the financial impact of not reviewing insurance coverage annually.
