As the end of the year is quickly approaching, beneficiaries should begin to explore their healthcare coverage options for the upcoming year. This can be a daunting task for most individuals, which is why Sampson Regional Medical Center (SampsonRMC) encourages individuals to take time to review each plan carefully. 

"It is important to know your coverage and understand not all health plans are accepted by every hospital or physician," stated Jerry Heinzman, Chief Financial Officer for SampsonRMC. Mid-October through the first of the year is a time when many beneficiaries review their current Medicare, Medicaid, and Marketplace plan coverage to explore options for the upcoming year. "As your community hospital, we understand the options are many, and the answers are few. While we can not endorse any products or plans, we do offer these tips," explained Heinzman.
