Medicare Part D enrollment period
The annual open enrollment period for the prescription drug
insurance program known as Medicare Part D begins Nov. 15 and ends

you and your loved ones make the best possible decisions regarding
your prescription drug coverage. All services with this program are
free through grants obtained through the Area Agency on Aging
for Lincolnland. Caution: The laws and insurance programs
have changed for 2007 calendar year. Just because your insurance
program worked well in 2006 does not mean it is the correct program
for you during 2007. Call 732-6132 to set up a private and
confidential appointment to help you with your options.
