Plan Now for Open Enrollment

November 7, 2019 Providence News Team

Everyone knows the importance of having health insurance. Every fall is your chance to review your health care insurance options for the coming year and to make any changes. Once this open enrollment period ends, it’s difficult to make changes to your coverage.

Here are some tips for coverage from Los Angeles Medicare insurance broker Bruce Johnston:

If you want to keep the same plan, check to make sure your prescription drug coverage remains the same.
Are the drugs you take still covered, and at what cost?
Are your physicians still on the same plan for 2020?
If acupuncture, chiropractic care or transportation to appointments is important to you, is that covered?
Is the hospital you prefer part of your plan? People who choose plans and physician groups affiliated with Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Centers San Pedro and Torrance can choose from a large network of outstanding primary care providers, a full range of specialty care and two conveniently located and top-rated hospitals.
