Washington, DC – Earlier this week, Representative Lois Frankel (FL-22) announced the start of Medicare Open Enrollment for 2025. There are currently 67.5 million Medicare enrollees nationwide, including over 350,000 in Palm Beach County. Every year, Medicare enrollees have the opportunity to review their coverage and select a plan that best meets their needs. Recent changes to Medicare could save seniors thousands of dollars.

“This week we marked the start of an important time of year for the over 350,000 Medicare beneficiaries in Palm Beach County,” said Rep. Frankel. “Medicare plans change every year, so seniors should check all coverage options to select the best plan for them.”

Under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris, as well as Democrats in Congress, we are lowering health care costs. The price of insulin is now capped at $35 per month, recommended vaccines—including the shingles vaccine—are available at no cost, and starting next year, there will be a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for prescription drugs.

Open enrollment runs through December 7, 2024, for coverage beginning January 1, 2025. Enrollees can visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE to compare plans.
