The Medicare enrollment season is here. Running now through Dec. 7, the enrollment period allows seniors to choose from thousands of available options in the individual Medicare market.

But it can be a daunting task, experts from consulting firm Aon Hewitt warn. According to their research, 60 percent of seniors say the amount of information about Medicare health insurance can be overwhelming, which can lead to less than ideal Medicare enrollment choices. 

Similarly, another recent survey found that few Medicare beneficiaries switch Part D prescription drug plans voluntarily during open enrollment — even when savings are available.
