Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) is a not-for-profit hospital that provides high quality inpatient, outpatient, and ambulatory services for the communities in the tri-state area of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

BMH wants you to know that Medicare Open Enrollment is taking place now through Saturday, December 7th and that help is available if you need it. This is the time of year when all Medicare-eligible individuals can review and change their Medicare coverage for the following year (for coverage starting on January 1, 2025).

Senior Solutions Area Agency on Aging in Southeastern Vermont is a wonderful resource for people looking to either sign up for Medicare or make certain changes to their existing Medicare coverage.

You can reach Senior Solutions either by phone at 802-885-2669 (or 866-673-8376) or by following this link.

If you are a Medicare beneficiary (or are eligible to become one) it is your right to make changes during open enrollment. It’s also the perfect time to revisit how your plan works. And, if your current plan is discontinued, you should know that open enrollment may be your only chance to choose a different plan for the coming year.
