The holidays are here — lights are twinkling, calendars are full, and everyone’s gearing up for a fresh start. Now is a great time to Review Your 2026 Plan Detail for your health coverage.s
🎉 But before January 1st arrives, it’s important to make sure your health coverage is ready for the new year.
Whether you’re on Medicare, Marketplace insurance, or an employer plan, taking a few simple steps now can save you time, stress, and unexpected costs later. Here are five ways to get your coverage in order before the new year begins.
1. Review Your 2026 Plan Health Coverage Details

Premium amount and due date
Deductibles and copays
Provider network (your doctors and specialists)
Prescription coverage
📄 Pro Tip: Keep your plan documents or ID cards somewhere easy to find — you’ll need them for upcoming appointments in January.
2. Confirm Your Providers and Prescriptions

If you plan to stick with the same doctors or specialists, check that they’re still in-network under your 2026 plan. Networks can change from year to year, and out-of-network visits can cost much more than you expect.
Also, review your prescription drug coverage. Make sure your pharmacy is still preferred and that your medications are covered at the right tier.
💊 'Pro Tip: A quick call to your doctor or pharmacist can prevent a big surprise at the counter!
3. Update Personal and Contact Information

It’s easy to forget small details like a new address, phone number, or email — but these matter for your health coverage. Outdated information can cause delays in claims, ID cards, or billing notices.
If anything has changed recently, notify us
Your insurance carrier
Social Security (for Medicare beneficiaries)
Your healthcare providers
📬 Tip: Check that your billing and mailing addresses match on all accounts to avoid confusion.
4. Schedule Preventive Care and Screenings

The end of the year is a great time to plan ahead for your preventive visits — like annual physicals, dental cleanings, eye exams, and wellness screenings.
Many of these services are covered at no cost and getting them scheduled early helps you start the year healthy and informed.
