Dr. Kristi Clark, from HealthTexas Medical Group has some helpful insights about the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period. 

"About 25-30% of current Medicare recipients will choose a Medicare Advantage Plan," Dr. Clark said. "A lot of times, these plans will offer benefits that you don't have with traditional Medicare."

"It's also called the Annual Election Period, and it's the time in which a Medicare beneficiary can change their plan or enroll for an additional benefit on their plan," said Dr. Clark. "The important thing to remember is that there are a lot of options out there."
