Medicare help set at county libraries

Medicare plans need an annual review as they change in cost and coverage every year. Join Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors volunteers Joyce and Daniel Leonard for free and impartial information tailored to meet the needs of current and future Medicare recipients. The Leonard’s have saved local residents thousands of dollars in reviewing their Medicare plans. To receive the best assistance, participants should bring a list of current medications.
