    How to renew Medicare/employee health benefit-reimbursed passes:

    The Medicare Open Enrollment Period also known as the Annual Election Period (AEP) for Medicare health and prescription drug plans happens only once per year.

    Medicare Advantage plans offer additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare. Plan options may include coverage for prescription drugs, dental, vision, hearing, fitness and more.

    During Medicare open enrollment, sometimes called the Medicare annual enrollment, you can change Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D plans, including changing your coverage, switching between plan types and adding prescription drug benefits.

    Enrollment for Medicare enrollees who want to make changes to their coverage happens every fall between October 15 and December 7. Any changes you make during the 2023 Medicare enrollment period will affect your 2024 Medicare plan, beginning January 1, 2024.

    Anyone renewing or enrolling in a new insurance-reimbursed fitness passes for the first time, must fill out and return this form. You will need to confirm your eligibility with your provider and ask for an eligibility/fitness number to complete enrollment. Complete and return the PDF, or fill out the online form below.

    If you've changed your insurance or personal information, you must fill out and return the form. This includes:

  • Patrons that changed supplemental insurance companies.
  • Patrons that changed their address, phone number, email address.
  • Patrons that have Providence Insurance as Providence has changed to One Pass for 2024.
  • If you are eligible and once you have your eligibility/fitness number, complete your enrollment form by either:

    • Completing an electronic form at: www.bendparksandrec.org/medicareform.
    • Print the PDF enrollment form and either mail or hand deliver the completed form to customer service at:
