What is the Medicare Plan Annual Notice of Change (ANOC)?

The Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) is a document that you get from your Medicare Advantage or Part D provider towards the end of September. This notice provides details regarding any modifications in the plan’s expenses and benefits that will be implemented on January 1 of the forthcoming year. It is important to scrutinize this notice to determine if your current plan will adequately address your medical requirements in the next year. If the ANOC hasn’t been delivered to you, it is advised to get in touch with your plan provider. Usually, the ANOC is sent out or electronically transmitted along with the plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC), which offers a more detailed breakdown of the plan’s projected expenses and offerings for the year ahead.
