Oklahoma set a record for COVID-19 hospitalizations last week, and the United States reached a grim milestone of more than 250,000 coronavirus deaths. After earlier surges in the spring and summer, the country is now in the midst of the feared fall coronavirus surge and we’re peering into the darkness that winter will bring. With more than 1,500 Oklahomans now hospitalized and new positive cases averaging more than 2,600 per day, it’s time for Oklahoma to act.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. –GlobalHealth, an Oklahoma-based health insurer, is raising awareness about the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) so that Oklahomans can better assess their Medicare options. The AEP is the time for current Medicare beneficiaries to review and make changes to their Medicare coverage options. AEP begins October 15th each year and ends on December 7th.
