Open enrollment for Medicare Part B is in its final leg, and Social Security is sending out some annual reminders.

Jack Myers with Social Security reminds that the open enrollment period is an annual opportunity for those enrolled in Medicare to reevaluate their plans and runs through Friday, Dec. 5, because Dec. 7 is a Sunday.

Medicare beneficiaries can compare their options for health and prescription drug coverage. Myers reminds that this includes Medicare Advantage plans, Medigap plans, and Medicare Prescription Drug plans.

The open enrollment period ends on Friday, December 5, because December 7 - the traditional cutoff date - is a Sunday.
