SHICK (Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas )

Reviewing Medicare Part D, which is the prescription drug coverage portion of      Medicare, is essential for several reasons. Medicare Part D plans can vary in terms of cost, coverage, and benefits, so it is important to periodically evaluate your options to ensure you are getting the best plan for your needs. Here are some reasons to review Medicare Part D:

1. Changing health needs

2. Cost savings

3. Formula changes

4. Plan ratings

5. Medication price changes

The Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) Assistance Program offers no cost personalized counseling and assistance. This year Part D counseling is being offered at the Cheney Public Library on selected Fridays during open enrollment (Oct. 15 – Dec. 7). All appointments are made through the Sedgwick County SHICK office at 316-660-0126. Appointments are available on a first come first served basis.
