1. What is National Medicare Education Week?

• National Medicare Education Week is an official week dedicated to helping people learn more about Medicare.

• It begins Sept. 15, exactly one month before the start of the Open Enrollment Period (Oct. 15-Dec. 7), when Medicare beneficiaries can make changes to their coverage.

• National Medicare Education Week offers in-person educational events nationwide and other resources to help Medicare beneficiaries get their questions answered so they can feel confident making Medicare coverage decisions.
