PMC offering Medicare Open Enrollment Education

Finding the right Part D plan

Parmer Medical Center is proud to announce their upcoming community education program on Thursday, October 24th beginning at 2:00 p.m. in the Parmer Medical Center conference room.

As most Medicare recipients are aware, open enrollment started on October 15th and will end on December 7th. Medicare and its plans change every year, especially the prescription drug plans. Part D deals entirely with your prescription medications and although the plan you had for 2019 may have been ideal for your prescription medications, that plan may have changed for 2020. By the time you realize your current plan is no longer the most appropriate, open enrollment is over and no changes can made on your Part D coverage.

This program is being presented by Area Agency on Aging and they have the capability to review your medications and let you make an informed decision on which Part D plan is most appropriate for your medication needs. The educational portion of the program will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the conference room at Parmer Medical Center and last approximately one hour. Immediately following the program, the benefits counselors will stay to assist anyone with questions regarding which Part D plan is most financially appropriate for their medication needs.

Please bring your medication list, any insurance cards, including your Medicare card, and join us on Thursday, October 24th. The one hour program may have a significant impact on your prescription drug costs for the upcoming year!!!

The Area Agency on Aging serves as the advocate for the Panhandle’s elderly population and is not an insurance company. Parmer Medical Center and Area Agency on Aging want to assist individuals within our service area in making informed decisions regarding their Medicare care needs for 2020.
