Me either.  It doesn't change much.  Now, if I have a Part C Plan, I will refer to that.  The Medicare and YOU book does not change.  The only thing that changes is our Part B Premium.............

@gertrudecloset  In New Jersey & ALL it's counties it does changes EVERY YEAR!  Medicare insurance companies including Advantage Plans come & go in N.J. and/or various counties. 

Also the cost of the different plans changes (at least in N.J.) especially in my county.

No.  No @Mz iMac read "my" response again above where you quoted me.  The Medicare and You book that comes from Medicare (Social Security Administration) has nothing to do with booklets sent by Part C Advantage Plans.  I said in my post that if I had such a plan, I would refer to that and not the Medicare and You Book because it does not change.

I actually like getting a printed copy of the Medicare handbook.  I find it easier to browse for info then going to the online version.

Those of you who do not want a printed copy should:

Call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), and we can make sure you only get one copy mailed to you. Or, sign up to get your future “Medicare & You” handbook electronically. 

How to sign up for the eHandbook:

1. Log into (or create) your Medicare account.
2. Under your name, select "My account settings," and then select the link "Edit my communication preferences."
3. Select "Yes" under "Do you wish to received the "Medicare & You" handbook electronically?", then "Submit."

@PilatesLover  After you are enrolled in Medicare, you will get the booklet every year.  Otherwise, you can go on Medicare's website to download the booklet.
