Have you reviewed your Medicare plan options during this open enrollment period?

Medicare Open Enrollment is underway, and LIFE Senior Services in Tulsa is offering free help for older adults comparing Medicare plans. Assistance is available through the program's Medicare Assistance Program, with the enrollment period ending December 7.

Why it matters

Open enrollment is the annual window when people with Medicare can change their coverage, and choosing a plan that fits your medications and costs can affect what you pay over the coming year. Free, one-on-one guidance can help older adults in the Tulsa area sort through options before the deadline.

The information comes from LIFE Senior Services' announcement of its free Medicare assistance program and the official Medicare Open Enrollment dates. No outcome or enrollment data were reported.

The players

LIFE Senior Services

A Tulsa-area nonprofit that provides services and support programs for older adults, including its free Medicare Assistance Program.

Kathy Jones

Medicare Assistance Program Manager at LIFE Senior Services, overseeing the free plan-comparison help offered to local seniors.

The details

Program staff lay out the plans available to each person and review which options may cover their medications and overall costs most effectively. The final decision about which plan to choose rests with the individual, and the program's role is to make the comparison clearer rather than to select coverage on someone's behalf.

Timeline

  1. Medicare Open Enrollment began on November 5, 2026.

  2. Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7.

Health Landscape

Each fall, Medicare beneficiaries are given a yearly window to switch between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage or change drug plans. Community programs like LIFE Senior Services' fill the gap for people who find plan comparisons difficult to navigate alone.

If you have Medicare, this is the time to review whether your current plan still covers your prescriptions and expected care at a cost that works for you. Bring a current list of your medications to any plan-comparison appointment, and consider discussing coverage changes with your doctor before you enroll.

The takeaway

Open enrollment is a yearly chance to make sure your Medicare coverage still fits your health needs. To book free help, call LIFE Senior Services at 918-664-9000 before the December 7 deadline.

What happens next

Medicare Open Enrollment closes December 7, so people who want to change their coverage need to act before that date.
