Open enrollment for Medicare recipients began November 31 and ends on December 31. During this time, people with Medicare can add, drop or change their prescription drug coverage. They can also select a health plan for their 2010 coverage.
Whether you are new to Medicare, and feeling bewildered by the choices you have, or if you’ve had the same plan for years but are curious about what else is out there, the Medicare.gov website is a great tool. Using customized searches, Medicare recipients can search for a health and drug plan that’s right for them.
Pam Mann of the Morgan County Library and Bibi Hahn of Hahn and Nelson Family Medicine will conduct a workshop at the Library on December 9 from 1-3 pm on using the Medicare website. This workshop is meant to raise the comfort level of using the website so that participants can make an informed decision on their own. In order to use the personalized searches, participants will need to bring a list of their prescriptions, their Medicare number, and the name of their preferred pharmacy.
Please call the Library at (304)258-3350 to register for the workshop. The workshop is free of charge and will be limited to 10 participants.
