What happened
CMS published a Medicare Open Enrollment video on October 30, 2025, featuring Administrator Mehmet Oz with chef Geoffrey Zakarian. In CMS’s description, it is fall, which means it is time for Medicare Open Enrollment; enrollees should review their coverage options and find the plan that works best for them before open enrollment ends on December 7, at Medicare.gov/plan-compare.
Why it matters
The Zakarian message is one of a series of celebrity-paired open-enrollment spots Oz fronted for the 2025 season, alongside the Montel Williams and Herschel Walker messages. The December 7 deadline and the plan-compare tool are the dated, checkable facts of the piece.
