CRITICAL: The Medicare.gov Plan Finder tool has recently undergone a series of massive changes — some of which have seriously undermined the usefulness and reliability of the tool. As of our publication date, January 2020, the Plan Finder still changes almost daily. Thus, we are updating the handouts to feature the 2020 Medicare data, but we will wait to update the step-by-step portion on using the Plan Finder both in the videos and the handoutso until the tool becomes more stable.
