Very Important News  About Medicare!

Medicare Limited Open Enrollment Period

Hello Everyone!!

Feliz Año Nuevo or Happy New Year to all!

Some Medicare beneficiaries have been asking me the same question:” What is the donut hole?” Medicare Prescription Drug Plans have a gap in coverage otherwise known as the “donut hole.” During the coverage gap, a beneficiary is responsible for paying 100% of their drug costs. In 2008, the coverage runs from the initial coverage limit of $2510 to $5726.25, making the beneficiary's total out of pocket costs roughly $4,050.

Some drug plans offer extra coverage through the gap. Many “enhanced” plans offer coverage of generic drugs through the gap. These “enhanced” benefits come at a higher monthly premium. Beneficiaries have some options while in the coverage gap that might provide a little financial assistance:

• Keep utilizing your Part D card.

•  Check into Prescription Assistance Programs

• Talk to your doctor about switching from brand medications to generics when available.

Reminders:

Special Enrollment Period - From January 1 through March 31, 2008 – This special enrollment period is for those people who enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan with Prescription Drug coverage, and who now wish to go back to their original Medicare coverage, and enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan.

Do you know??

There is a new law that could help protect you against identity theft.  All Pennsylvania residents now can place a freeze on their credit files which are maintained by the three national credit bureaus: Trans Union, Experian and Equifax. Under this law, known as the “Credit Reporting Agency Law,” consumers can freeze their credit file with a credit bureau by sending a written request to the bureau by certified mail.

To initiate a freeze there is a fee of up to $10.00.  Customers 65 years or older or people who are victims of identity theft are exempted from the fee. Additional information about this law, as well as tips on safeguarding personal and financial information, can be found on the Attorney General’s website at www.AttorneyGeneral.gov.

New Website Address!
The website address has changed from www.lifecenterpa.org to match the Senior Center's name; it is now www.kennettseniorcenter.org.  For the time being, both addresses will work, but the www.lifecenterpa.org address will eventually go away and no longer function.
