SHINE counselors can help Medicare beneficiaries compare health and Part D plans, review costs and coverage, and make informed decisions before Open Enrollment ends December 7
Reading, MA — Medicare beneficiaries who are interested in comparing health insurance and Part D coverage can meet with SHINE beginning 10/15 to receive cost and coverage comparisons.

If you are thinking about changing coverage, please check with doctors to see what plans they accept; obtain a current medication list with dosage or view your My Medicare account to update medications.
