When Should Floridians Review Their Insurance Each Year? A Simple Guide for ACA, Medicare & Business Policies

Quick Summary: Key Review Months & Triggers

• ACA Health Insurance (Under 65): Review every November–December during Open Enrollment, or after life changes (marriage, move, income shift).
• Medicare Plans: Review October 15–December 7 during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP).
• Business Insurance: Review 30–60 days before renewal —often tied to your policy effective date or business license renewal month.
• Trigger Events: New job, income changes, new medications, doctor changes, business expansion, hiring employees, buying property, adding vehicles, or moving.

Why Annual Reviews Matter in Florida

At Florida Life & Health Exchange (Satellite Beach, FL), we help individuals, families, and business owners stay protected as their needs—and Florida’s insurance landscape—change each year. A quick yearly check ensures your plan still fits your budget, covers your doctors, and meets state and carrier requirements.

ACA Marketplace Health Insurance (Under 65)

If you buy health insurance through the Marketplace, the best time to review your plan is during Open Enrollment: November 1–January 15. Your renewal notice often arrives in early November, and it’s the perfect chance to make sure your:

• subsidies are correct based on your income
• preferred doctors and hospitals remain in-network
• prescriptions are still covered affordably
• deductible, copays, and max-out-of-pocket still fit your budget

Medicare (Turning 65 or Already Enrolled)

Medicare plans can change their provider networks, drug formularies, and premiums each year. That’s why every Floridian with Medicare should review their coverage during:

Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): October 15–December 7

Whether you have Medicare Advantage or a Part D drug plan, we help you confirm your:

• doctors remain in-network
• prescriptions are still covered affordably
• total costs stay competitive
• plan benefits still match your needs

Business Insurance (General Liability, Property, BOP & More)

Florida businesses should review coverage 60 days before renewal to avoid surprises and ensure your policy grows with your business. This is essential if you:

• hired employees
• added equipment or property
• purchased vehicles
• expanded services or locations
• need updated liability limits
