Workshop To Enroll Seniors In Medicare Part D

Do you know someone who needs help with the new Medicare Part D?

MVES will be sponsoring “The Medicare Part D Enrollment Day” to assist seniors in signing up for Medicare Part D. The enrollment day will be held at MVES in Malden on December 15. SHINE (Serving Health Information Needs of Elders) Counselors will be available from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. to help seniors enroll in this new program. Those wishing to attend the workshop must pre-register by December 7 by calling MVES at 781-324-7705 ext. 164.

Medicare Part D is the new federal prescription drug program. Enrollment began on November 15. It is important for many seniors to enroll in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan before January 1, 2006.

The Medicare Part D Enrollment Day will be limited to 50 people. Each senior will receive one-on-one help with enrollment. Seniors should expect to spend 30 minutes with a SHINE counselor. Please call 781-324-7705 ext. 164 to pre-register.
