Medicare Open Enrollment - Important Planning Session - San Mateo County

HICAP representative Virginia Kroger will share all you need to know about open enrollment, including what changes you can make, how to prepare for the coming year, and how to protect what you have. Those on Medicare have to be especially careful that they do not make changes without fully considering the consequences. A single decision can cause major disruptions and increase costs, while simultaneously lowering coverage and access to preferred providers or drug plans. Changes made during this period are effective January 1st and in many cases, cannot be undone until the next enrollment period. Protect yourself from aggressive telemarketers and confusing mass mailings that bombard you with misinformation.
