Did you know that you can review and change your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan annually?    Medicare Annual Election Period, running from October 15th-December 7th, is the time to do just that!

 

On Tuesday, October 29th, from 9:00am-2:00pm, at 735 Scott Avenue, Fort Scott; area Senior Health Insurance Counselors for Kansas (SHICK) will be available for you!  Call 620-244-3826 to schedule an appointment.

 

Even if you have been happy with your plan in the past, plans and your medications do change!  It is a good idea to compare options to see what meets your current needs.  Last year, counselors helped beneficiaries save on average $1,075.00 per person changing plans.
