Medicare Deadline Approaches
Congressman Conaway urges seniors to sign up for the new Prescription Drug plan by May 15th

Washington, May 4, 2006 - U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (R-TX) wants to urge seniors in District 11 to sign up for the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan by the May 15th deadline.

“We have had incredible success in enrolling seniors in the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. More than 30 million people have enrolled in the new plan nationwide, and 82% of seniors in District 11 who are eligible have enrolled,” said Conaway. “Our seniors deserve access to affordable health care and prescription drugs, and I want to make sure that every senior is aware of the different options that are available. Seniors need to sign up before the May 15th deadline in order to avoid penalty.”

If you do not enroll by May 15, the premium cost will go up at least 1% per month for every month that is waited to join. Seniors will have to pay this penalty as long as they have Medicare prescription drug coverage.

To apply and get more information on payment assistance, call Social Security at 1-800-722-1213. Almost 1 in 3 people with Medicare will qualify for extra help and Medicare will pay for almost all prescription drug costs.

Also, if you have any questions or need help please call my office at 1-866-882-3811 or your local Area Agency on Aging. Automatically connect to the AAA in your area by calling 1-800-252-9240.
