What is National Medicare Education Week?
National Medicare Education Week is an official week dedicated to helping people learn more about Medicare. It starts one month before the start of the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (Oct. 15-Dec. 7), when those who are eligible for Medicare can enroll in new coverage or Medicare beneficiaries can make changes to their coverage.
A lot goes into deciding Medicare options, some of these factors include:
UnitedHealthcare created National Medicare Education Week because the number of people in need of clear information about Medicare is growing, and we know that Medicare can be confusing. According to a UnitedHealthcare survey, nearly 40 percent of beneficiaries describes Medicare as "confusing."
