HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania residents can receive free counseling to help navigate Medicare’s annual open enrollment period, which begins Oct. 15 and continues through Dec. 7.
The Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight, or PA MEDI, program provides trained counselors who can help Medicare recipients compare Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans, including costs, provider networks, benefits, prior authorization requirements and drug formularies.
Counselors can also help determine whether individuals qualify for cost-saving programs, including PACE/PACENET, Extra Help and Medicare Savings Programs. PA MEDI counselors do not sell insurance or endorse insurance companies, products or agents.
Assistance is available through local Area Agencies on Aging or by calling the PA MEDI helpline at (800) 783-7067 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
