Nona Bear on Part D

Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Do what you can with what you have where you are."  What a perfect answer to this question!    What we can do is to use this time to make sure we are getting our needs met and saving ourselves as much money as possible.  Open enrollment empowers us by giving us not only options, but also complete information about each of those options. We should use that power to our advantage by choosing the plan that works best for us.  That's the Number 1 thing we can do. What we have is quite a lot, both in terms of information about the plans available to us and resources to help us evaluate that information.  Here's a quick list of those resources:www.Medicare.gov1-800-MEDICARE(1-800-633-4227) Talk to a LIVE person 24 hours a day, 7 days a weekwww.seniorsspeakout.orgSHIIP Counselors at local Area Agencies in AgingOur own experiences and those of our trusted friends  Where we are is in the closing days of Open Enrollment; it ends November 7. But, as Teddy Roosevelt also said, " Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time!"
