Medicare Open Enrollment Deadline Approaching
As a reminder, we are quickly approaching the December 7, 2011 deadline for Medicare beneficiaries to review Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug coverage benefit plans to choose the option that best fits their personal needs. Eligible beneficiaries will be able to change to or from a Medicare Advantage program, enroll in a prescription drug plan, or change their existing prescription drug plan.
I also wanted to provide you with some valuable resources that can help answer questions for you as you choose your plans. To speak with a Medicare representative, simply call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit their website here. To contact the New Jersey State Health Insurance Assistance Program, please dial 1-800-792-8820 or visit their website here. If you have a question regarding prescription drug plans, the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program can be reached at 1-800-792-9745 or visit their website here. As always, if you have any further questions regarding plan options or the Open Enrollment period, please don’t hesitate to contact one of my offices as well.
If you have any questions or would like to share your opinions, please call my Washington, DC office at (202) 225-4465. Please be assured that I will continue working with my congressional colleagues to address the issues that are impacting you and your family.
Sincerely,
Scott Garrett
