If you live in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington or Wyoming, keep an eye on your mailbox — your new Medicare card is on its way.

Medicare Open Enrollment runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. People with Medicare should take the opportunity to review their health care needs for the upcoming year and determine if changes to their current coverage are necessary. Plan costs change each year, so everyone with a Medicare health or drug plan should check to make sure their plan still meets their health needs and budget. By shopping available plans and comparing costs, beneficiaries may be able to find a Medicare health or drug plan with better coverage or a lower premium in 2019.

If you receive any calls from “Social Security,” be, oh, so careful. People are “spoofing or ghosting” Social Security’s telephone number and trying to get information from you. Always remember Social Security does not call you. They send you a letter.
