Part 1:  Jane Margesson, AARP Maine Communications Director came in today with Jim Baker of Southern Maine Agency on Aging(SMAA) to inform our listeners that any changes to Medicare Drug Plans or Medicare Advantage Plans need to be made during Medicare’s Open Enrollment period. Open Enrollment runs through 12/7 and is the only time you can make changes to your Medicare plan. All of the Maine Association on Aging Agencies(MAA) have trained volunteers and staff who can help with all Medicare Open Enrollment questions.
Part 2:  In this segment they talk about the lower income rule that people might not know about. They talk about how important it is to look and ask questions about your Medicare coverage every year because there are a lot of changes that happen year to year. Here are some links that might be able to help. Medicare ads should link here: https://states.aarp.org/medicare-open-enrollment-dont-miss-making-changes-coverage.
