Medicare Enrollment Period Arrives in Oregon
Nearly 1 million Oregonian seniors and disabled people are eligible to enroll in Medicare, with numerous changes in plans and coverage requiring careful consideration.
The once-a-year enrollment period has begun, and insurers are notifying seniors and disabled individuals that their plans will not be offered in 2026, prompting a statewide search for replacement or supplemental Medicare Advantage plans.
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage is a privatized version of the government Medicare program, offered by commercial insurers, which provides additional benefits such as dental and vision coverage.
Medicare Advantage is subject to the same market vicissitudes that characterize the broader health insurance market.
