EINPresswire/ -- Rodney POWELL, widely known as the “Medicare Video Guy” and Texas Top Rated Local Medicare Agent on Medicare Agents Hub in 2025, is offering free, no-obligation Medicare plan reviews during the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP), October 15 to December 7, 2025.

Licensed in Texas and 30 more states, Powell helps seniors and caregivers compare Medigap, Medicare Advantage, and Part D plans to ensure coverage aligns with their healthcare needs and finances.


What’s Changing in 2026 ? :

This Annual Election Period (AEP) is a crucial time to review Medicare coverage due to significant updates:

• Medigap (Medicare Supplement) Plans: Premiums for Plan G, Plan F, and Plan N have increased for many carriers in 2025. Switching plans is subject to medical underwriting, except during Guaranteed Issue periods.

• Medicare Advantage (MA): Plans often change provider networks, copays, and supplemental benefits like dental or vision annually. Seniors should verify that their doctors and prescriptions are still covered. Those considering a return to Original Medicare, along with a Medigap plan, should verify their eligibility, as underwriting may apply.

• Part D Prescription Drug Plans: The Inflation Reduction Act has reshaped 2026 Part D plans, affecting formularies, premiums, and out-of-pocket caps. Reviewing plans ensures medications are covered at the best available cost.

“Plan details vary by ZIP code and carrier,” says Powell. “A quick review can clarify whether your current coverage still fits your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.”

A free Medicare review is recommended if you:

• Have new or costly medications

• Changed doctors or specialists

• Noticed higher premiums or copays

• Want to explore switching between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare with Medigap.
