Hi, I'm Pamela Gentry at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and if
you've got a minute, I have some important news to share about Medicare.
During Open Enrollment - now through December 7 - Medicare offers a number of
resources to help you to find a health plan that is both a good value and meets
your health care needs.
Since you are already online, check out the Medicare Plan Finder. Just enter
your zip code and answer a few simple questions to help you find available plans
in your area. Then compare plans by costs, coverage and available providers to
make sure your pharmacy and doctor are included.
You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE for around-the-clock assistance, review your
2012 Medicare & You handbook or get one-on-one counseling assistance from the
local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
People with Medicare who have limited incomes and resources may also qualify for
Extra Help paying for their prescription drug costs. Visit
socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp or call 1-800-772-1213 to learn more.
Remember Open Enrollment ends December 7. So call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit
medicare.gov today to review and compare your Medicare plan options.
