Medicare Open Enrollment is just around the corner: Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Start thinking about any changes to your coverage you might want to make.
Personalized, objective assistance to seniors, the disabled, and caregivers is provided by volunteer counselors trained by the Arizona Agency on Aging Benefits Assistance Program. Services include basic information about Original Medicare (Parts “A” and “B”), Supplemental (Medigap) policies, Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part “D”), Medicare Advantage Plans (HMOs, etc.), AHCCCS (Medicaid), and ALTCS (Arizona Long Term Care System), as well as Social Security and SSI.
During the Medicare Open Enrollment period, Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, an Area Agency Aging volunteer is available Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon at Sun Lakes United Methodist Church, 9248 E. Riggs Road, Education building, Room 3. The Education building is located at the rear of the church’s grounds.
Note: Before and after Open Enrollment, a volunteer will be available from 9 to 11 a.m. on the first open Thursday of the month.
