Already on Medicare? Five questions decide whether this fall needs your attention. "Nothing changed" is the most common answer, and a good one.

Five yes/no questions about what changed for you this year. The most common result is that no action is needed.

Did the plan's premium, deductible or yearly maximum change?
Is any doctor or hospital you rely on leaving the network?
Did a prescription move tier, gain a restriction or leave the drug list?
Is a benefit you use — dental, transport, a supplement allowance — changing?
Did your own health or where you live change this year?

When should your Annual Notice of Change arrive?
What is the last day to change plans during Open Enrollment?
