Your EOC and ANOC are legal documents that provide complete information about how your Medicare plan works:
- Your EOC explains what your plan covers, how much you pay and more.
- Your ANOC describes changes to your plan's coverage, costs or administration for the upcoming year. ANOCs are issued in October, and the changes they describe take effect the following January.
Your Summary of Benefits outlines what your plan covers and what you’ll pay for those services. It doesn’t list everything covered by your plan, or every limitation or exclusion. For a full list of covered services, see your Evidence of Coverage.
