Medicare Enrollment Resources

Beneficiaries, their caregivers, and family members can begin to review 2008 Medicare prescription drug plan and health plan information online through the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder at http://www.medicare.gov/.

The enhanced plan finder options offer more information and greater clarity on available drug plans, including out-of-pocket costs, pharmacy networks, and important Medicare news and updates. Navigation improvements also make the plan finder tools more user-friendly, so beneficiaries will find it easier to locate information about available drug plans. Open enrollment began on November 15th. For more information or assistance, call the Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services Aging Information Center at 617-628-2601 ext. 3151.
