Medicare open enrollment reel ideas

The dates and the documents, with no plan picked on camera

Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15 to December 7. The agents who get booked in those weeks are not the ones naming a best plan in a thirty second video. They post the dates, the four things to bring to a review, and a clear way to book before the window closes.

Below are 36 ideas for licensed agents and agencies in the United States, plus two scripts. This page is general information for your marketing. It is not a recommendation to join, switch, or drop any plan. Your own posts still have to follow the current Medicare marketing rules and your plan sponsors' requirements.

Scripts you can copy

About 30 seconds each when read aloud. Paste one into TallyReel as your own script, or change the details first.

Script 1

October 15 to December 7

1

Medicare open enrollment runs from October 15 to December 7. Put those dates on the calendar now.

2

In those weeks, many people can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage plan or a Part D drug plan.

3

It is not the window for every kind of coverage. Medigap follows different rules.

4

Bring your Medicare card, a list of medicines with the doses, and the doctors you want to keep.

5

Your neighbour's plan is not your plan. Doctors, pharmacies and budgets are not the same.

6

This is general information. For your own situation, use Medicare.gov or a licensed agent in your state.

Script 2

What to bring to a review

1

A Medicare review goes better when you bring four things, not a stack of junk mail.

2

First, your Medicare card. Second, every medicine you take, with the dose and how often.

3

Third, the names of the doctors and the pharmacy you want to keep using.

4

Fourth, any letter from your current plan about next year's costs. Read it before you decide.

5

A zero premium in an ad is not a promise you will pay nothing. Ask what you pay at the pharmacy.

6

We will not pick a plan for you in a video. Book a review, and we will look at your list with you.

Post the deadline while people can still act

Most of the useful posts go out before December 7, not on it. People gather medicine lists slowly. A video in the last week of October that says what to bring will still be getting saved in November. Your hours and the phone number need to be in the video, not only in a bio that the viewer never opens.

Thanksgiving week is a trap. The holiday is late November, and enrollment still ends on December 7. Say that out loud in the week before Thanksgiving, because families are the ones who sit with a parent and a pile of letters. On December 8, one thank-you is enough. Do not bolt a new sales pitch onto it.

There is a separate Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31, for people already in a Medicare Advantage plan. Do not describe it as a second chance for everyone. When you are unsure which window applies, send people to Medicare.gov instead of guessing in a caption.

What these videos may say

Educational posts can explain words: premium, deductible, copay, formulary, in network. They can say that a zero premium is not the same thing as paying nothing at the pharmacy. They can show what a review meeting looks like in your office, empty of clients, and which states you are licensed in.

They should not name a best plan, promise savings, or use a celebrity line from a television ad as if you had checked that viewer's drugs. A neighbour's plan is a common myth and a fair thing to correct, as long as you do not then name the replacement. The next step is a review with a licensed agent, or Medicare.gov, not a comment thread.

Licensed agents and brokers have to follow the current Medicare Communications and Marketing Guidelines and the rules of the plans they represent, including disclaimers and how you may contact people. A reel does not sit outside those rules because it is short. If a line would not be allowed in a mailed letter, do not put it in the video. This page is not legal advice and not a plan recommendation.

Making the videos without a film crew

You do not need to be on camera. A desk, the red white and blue card as a prop you are allowed to show, a printed calendar with October 15 and December 7 circled, and a calm voiceover are enough. Do not show a real client's list of medicines. Use a blank notebook or an obvious example.

Type one idea and edit the script before it renders, so a banned superlative never gets spoken. Batch the dates video, the what-to-bring video, and your hours, then schedule them through TallyReel. Check the dates on Medicare.gov each October before you reuse last year's cut.

Questions

When is Medicare open enrollment?

The Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15 to December 7 each year. Confirm the dates on Medicare.gov before you post, in case an official notice changes anything.

What can people change during those weeks?

Many people can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage plan or a Part D drug plan. Medigap follows different rules. This is general information, not advice for a specific person.

Is January another open enrollment for everyone?

No. January 1 to March 31 is the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, for people already in a Medicare Advantage plan. Do not advertise it as a second window for everyone.

Can an agent name the best Medicare plan in a reel?

No. Do not name a best plan or promise savings. Explain dates and documents, say where you are licensed, and invite people to a review or to Medicare.gov. Follow the current Medicare marketing guidelines.

Pick one. Make it tonight.
