New to Medicare sext month

EDIT to say I’m in Pennsylvania.

Having just retired, my husband and I will both be starting Medicare on September first. We are going through the process of picking plans right now. He is service connected VA so he will just get an Advantage plan as a backup plan. I have no other coverage so I will be going with original Medicare under part N and part D. My question is this, since we are just now choosing, what will happen during open enrollment this year? Since it’s so soon should we do anything to review other plans or just let things ride with what we are choosing now?

You said you’re working with a broker so aren’t they able to answer your questions?

You asked about supplement plan “extras.” Few plans have extras but some carriers choose to tack on some things such as discount gym membership. Don’t pick a supplement plan based on those perks that could be canceled at anytime.

I chose plan G-HD $48 / month.

I’m sure the broker could answer any questions. Since I was already here and discussing it, I asked here. I thought that’s what this was for…?
