These new benefits coupled with other big changes may result in Medicare plans looking very different next year. Some plans might modify whether certain medications are covered and if there are additional requirements for coverage such as prior authorization. All Medicare beneficiaries and their families/caregivers should take time this fall to evaluate their options, even if they are happy with their current plan.
