Open Enrollment Season: How It Affects Your Practice's Revenue
Medicare and marketplace open enrollment reshuffle patient coverage every fall. Here is how to prepare your front desk and billing team.
What changes
Medicare's annual enrollment period runs October 15 to December 7, and many patients switch Medicare Advantage or Part D plans effective January 1.
Check your networks
Confirm you are in network with the plans your patients are moving to, and start credentialing early where you are not.
Communicate with patients
Remind patients to bring new cards in January. We help practices review payer participation before the new year.
