Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15, and 29News anchor Erin Brown spoke with Randy Rodgers, JABA's Manager of Insurance Counseling, about what to expect this year.

"There are some big changes when it comes to medicare drug prescriptions," said Rodgers. "One of the biggest ones is that the "donut hole" [the temporary limit, or coverage gap, on what Medicare drug plans covered] will actually be going away...and there's a $2,000 cap on the amount you'll pay for your subscription through the year... there are a lot of moving parts this year, so its more important than ever before to look at your options during open enrollment."
