Don’t forget Medicare Open Enrollment runs through this Saturday. We urge all Medicare beneficiaries to make an appointment so we can help you evaluate next year’s insurance options, and make changes if necessary. We use the Medicare plan finder tool online to determine which is the most economical plan for you given your specific prescription needs. For an appointment Call Marci at 265-5464.

Holidays are right around the corner. Don’t forget our Senior Gift Shop, we have a wonderful selection of greeting cards, up to the minute gifts along with some antiques for you shopping needs. Be sure to stop by and check us out. We know you will be pleased with both our selection and our prices.

Medicare Drug Plan Finder Can Steer Seniors to Higher Costs: Medicare’s revamped prescription plan finder can steer seniors to pay more than they need to. As we are coming down the home stretch the new tool can create confusion by obscuring out-of-pocket costs that seniors should factor into their decisions. We want to make sure all seniors are given the most accurate information so they can make the best decision. Hoping Medicare will grant a second chance to sign up called a “special enrollment period” to help those who were steered in the wrong direction get a measure of fairness. For help call Marci at 265-5464 for an appointment.
