-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
MEDICARE'S YEARLY OPEN-ENROLLMENT STARTS ON OCTOBER
15TH--AND RUNS THROUGH DECEMBER 7TH. DURING THIS TIME, ABOUT ONE-MILLION MASSACHUSETTS-SENIORS WILL NEED TO DECIDE IF THEIR CURRENT HEALTH-PLAN THAT WORKS WITH MEDICARE IS THE RIGHT ONE, FOR THE YEAR AHEAD.
SANDY ALBRIGHT IS A-A-R-P MASSACHUSETTS' STATE-PRESIDENT...
(ALBRIGHT):
"A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR:
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A NEW MEDICAL-CONDITION, CHANGED MEDICATIONS, OR MOVED.
YOUR 'MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT'- OR 'MEDICARE ADVANTAGE'-PLAN MAY ALSO HAVE CHANGED.
WHEN CHOOSING THE RIGHT HEALTHCARE-PLAN FOR THE COMING YEAR, CONSIDER THE COST, COVERAGE, AND CONVENIENCE OF YOUR HEALTHCARE-BENEFITS.
YOU SHOULD ALSO REVIEW YOUR PLAN, TO SEE WHAT NEW BENEFITS MEDICARE HAS TO
OFFER--AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HEALTHCARE-CHOICE STILL WORKS FOR YOU. IF YOU NEED HELP COMPARING OPTIONS, CALL YOUR LOCAL SENIOR-CENTER, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A
'SHINE'-COUNSELOR."
