MEDICARE UPDATE SEMINAR
(Onslow County 4024 Richlands Highway , Jacksonville , North Carolina
Each year Medicare prescription drug plans change in cost and what they cover. All people with Medicare should review the cost and coverage of their current plans; compare them with other plans available to them, and choose a plan that meets their needs and budget. Open enrollment for Medicare Part D starts on November 15, 2009 and ends on December 31, 2009. During this time, people with Medicare can add, drop or change their prescription drug coverage. They can also select a Medicare Health Plan (Part C Advantage Plan) for their 2010 coverage. Open enrollment for Medicare Health Plans only will continue from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010.
