Medicare Open Enrollment Info!

It’s that time of year again! If you are enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan (HMO/ PPO), you should be mailed an information packet from your plan by the end of September. It is important to understand and save this information because it explains the changes in your plan for 2021. Premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and the drugs covered by your plan can change significantly!

Trained SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Everyone…on Medicare) volunteers offer free, confidential counseling on Medicare options. To schedule a SHINE phone appointment, call your local Senior Center. For other SHINE related matters, call 1-800-243-4636, then press or say 4. Once you get the SHINE answering machine, leave your name, town, and number. A volunteer will call you back, as soon as possible.
