Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is Here!

October 15 – December 7 is your once-a-year chance to review, change, or enroll in Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plans. Don’t miss out — the choices you make now affect your coverage and costs for all of next year.

Why AEP Matters:

  • Limited Window: AEP only runs from October 15 to December 7. After that, you may be locked into your current plan.
  • Avoid Penalties: If you haven’t enrolled in required coverage (like Part D), you may face lifetime late-enrollment penalties.
  • Maximize Benefits: Plans change yearly — premiums, doctor networks, and drug coverage may shift. A thorough review ensures you’re not overpaying or missing benefits.

Three Reasons to Act Now:

  1. Your health needs may have changed — your plan should keep up with your lifestyle.
  2. Your plan benefits may have changed — what worked last year might not be your best option now.
  3. Your peace of mind matters — avoid costly surprises by reviewing your plan before the deadline.

Don’t wait — once December 7 passes, your options will be limited until next year’s AEP.

Critical Illness - Cancer, Heart Attack, and Stroke Plans

Here are the top five reasons you would need a critical illness plan:

1) High Out-of-Pocket Medical Costs: Even with good health insurance, a serious illness can lead to thousands of dollars in deductibles, co-pays, and other expenses. A critical illness plan can help you manage these costs without financial strain.

2) Loss of Income: A serious illness or the need to care for a family member with an illness can lead to a significant loss of income due to missed work. The lump-sum benefit can help replace these lost wages.

3) Risk of a Pre-Existing Condition: If you have a family history of cancer, heart disease, or stroke, you may have a higher personal risk of developing one of these conditions. A critical illness plan can provide peace of mind and financial protection.

4) The Need for Non-Medical Support: A critical illness often comes with costs beyond medical care. You might need to pay for home health care, specialized rehabilitation, or travel and lodging for treatment far from home. The plan's flexible cash benefit can cover these expenses.

5) Limited Savings: If you don't have enough savings to cover an unexpected financial emergency, a critical illness diagnosis could be financially devastating. This type of insurance acts as a financial safety net, protecting your assets and savings.



Here are the top five benefits of ManhattanLife's critical illness, heart attack, and stroke plans:

1) Lump-Sum Cash Benefit: The plan pays a one-time, lump-sum benefit directly to you upon the diagnosis of a covered condition. This is a significant benefit because you can use the money for anything you need, not just medical bills.

2) Financial Flexibility: The cash benefit can be used to cover a wide range of expenses, including deductibles, co-payments, and other out-of-pocket medical costs. It can also be used for non-medical expenses like mortgage payments, groceries, transportation to appointments, childcare, or lost wages due to time off work for recovery.

3) Supplemental Coverage: This type of insurance works in addition to your existing health insurance. It helps to fill in the financial gaps that major medical plans often leave, preventing you from having to deplete your savings or go into debt.

4) Coverage for a Wide Range of Conditions: The plans typically cover specific conditions like heart attack, stroke, and various types of cancer. Some plans may also provide a partial benefit for less severe conditions, such as coronary artery bypass surgery or carcinoma in situ.

5) Family Coverage Options: ManhattanLife offers options to cover not only the primary policyholder but also their spouse and children, providing a safety net for the entire family in the event of a critical illness diagnosis.
