Medicare Help

September 14, 2021 @ 8:00 AM - October 15, 2021 @ 5:00 PM

The Satie and J.E. Broyhill Caldwell Senior Center is now scheduling one-on-one appointment with a trained SHIIP counselor for Medicare Open Enrollment. The Medicare Open Enrollment Period begins on Oct. 15, 2021 and runs for eight weeks to give you enough time to review and make changes to your Medicare coverage. Changes must be made by Dec. 7, 2021 to guarantee your coverage will begin without interruption on Jan. 1, 2022.
It’s important to contact your local SHIIP counselor before making a decision about coverage because you may be able to receive more affordable and better Medicare health and/or drug plan options in your area. Even if you are satisfied with your current Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, there may be
another plan in your area that covers your health care and/or drugs at a better price.
SHIIP is a division of the North Carolina Department of Insurance and offers free, unbiased information
about Medicare, Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicare Advantage, long-term care insurance
and other health insurance issues. In addition to helping Medicare beneficiaries compare and enroll in plans during the Open Enrollment Period, SHIIP counselors can help people find out if they are eligible for Medicare cost savings programs. To schedule a one-on-one appointment with a trained SHIIP counselor please contact the Caldwell Senior Center at 828-758-2883
