Find the right Medicare plan for you
JANS – The open enrollment period for Medicare runs from October 15 through December 7 each year. During this time, you may change your Medicare health or prescription coverage for the upcoming year. While the Mississippi Insurance Department (MID) does not regulate Medicare, MID is available to answer questions if you have concerns or are confused by the open enrollment process.
