LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus is set to offer free, unbiased health insurance counseling during Medicare open enrollment and throughout the year.
Open enrollment for Medicare health plans runs Sunday, Oct. 15, to Thursday, Dec. 7, as does the Medicare Part D drug plan open enrollment.
Open Enrollment is the time to enroll and make changes to existing Medicare plans or investigate and possibly pursue changing current plans. These Medicare information services are available in the Lewiston office of SeniorsPlus, as well as in Norway and Wilton; via Zoom meetings, phone calls, and using regular mail service as needed.
SeniorsPlus also offers Medicare 101 classes regularly.
“Medicare offers a lot of options and it’s hard to discern what is best for you,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus, according to a news release from the agency. “Unlike many Medicare counseling services, our services are offered without any fees or select products in mind, except what the client chooses and what is best for their particular situation. We are not an insurance broker.”
Appointments for the agency’s assistance are required and are filling up fast. To make an appointment, call 800-427-1241.
SeniorsPlus is the designated Area Agency on Aging serving Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties.
