The Lake County Council on Aging is reminding Medicare-eligible individuals of the free counseling assistance available to them and their caregivers during Medicare Open Enrollment which occurs annually October 15 through December 7th.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) and Medicare Advantage plans change every year. If you are not reviewing your coverage annually, you could be missing out on big savings!
Understanding your Medicare options can be overwhelming but you don’t have to do it alone – we are here to help! The Council on Aging has trained Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) volunteers available to help you make sense of the complicated Medicare system to make the best choices for your healthcare. These counselors are ready to provide free, unbiased information and education about Medicare, help you review your current coverage and look at plan options for 2024. You may call the Council on Aging at (440) 205-8111 to schedule a one-on-one appointment. Please note appointments are required during Open Enrollment.
In addition to one-on-one counseling, the Lake County Council on Aging will be holding Medicare Check-up presentations throughout the county. These presentations will provide an overview of Medicare including 2024 plan options. Presentations are free and open to the public but registration is required.
The Mentor Senior Center will host a presentation on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 10:00 AM.
The Mentor Senior Center is located at 8484 Munson Road. For additional information or to register, call (440) 974-5725.
