SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Medicare Open Enrollment begins Saturday, October 15, and the Illinois Department On Aging is ready to help you navigate the process.
Senior Health Insurance Program or “SHIP” Director Sandy Leith says they have over 1,000 counselors ready to assist you with various plan choices.
“They’ve been certified, and they can help you, sit down with you one-on-one, or over the phone and go through your options, and actually run what we call a plan-finder. The Medicare.gov Plan Finder online will give you the best scenario of what your best coverage should be for 2023,” Leith says.
Counselors are available at more than 300 sites across Illinois including senior centers, township offices, hospitals and more.
