Medicare's open enrollment period is underway through December 7. This is when people can change their Medicare health plans and prescription drug coverage for the following year. Changes made during this period will take effect on January 1, 2026. Older adults can get assistance comparing plans from the Senior Health Insurance Program counselors. Call DuPage County Community Services between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm on weekdays to schedule an appointment at (630) 407-6500 with one of our SHIP counselors.
