Medicare Open Enrollment Assistance

Medicare Open Enrollment is Underway from October 15, 2018 – December 7, 2018. During the Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period, Medicare beneficiaries with Medicare Advantage Plans and Part D Prescription Drug Plans are encouraged to compare their current plans (in their 2019 format) with other plans available during 2019. Plans can change significantly from year to year and it’s important to be aware of those changes in order to select the coverage that best fits your needs. Changes made during the Annual Enrollment Period go into effect on January 1, 2019. APPRISE Counselors offer impartial assistance to Medicare beneficiaries during scheduled appointments. APPRISE counselors will be at Adamstown Area Library on Monday, November 5th, 2018 from 10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. If you are already in a Medicare Advantage Plan or a Part D Prescription Drug Plan, and want to make an appointment to meet with an APPRISE counselor, call Lancaster County Office of Aging, 299-7979 or 1-800-801-3070 or email the agency at aging@co.lancaster.pa.us
