Medicare re-enrollment is ju st around the corner and Jewish Family Services is offering free c onsultations to help individuals sort through options and save mo ney. Dec. 7 is the last day to enroll. Our experts will be available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
\nMedicare counselin g is by appointment only for all Medicare-eligible current and ne w JFS clients regardless of income. Appointments are offered via Zoom\, in -person or phone.
\nMedicare experts Kelly G. Loeb\, MSW\, and Liz C onaway Muensch\, JFS Older Adult Care Managers\, provide impartial\, unbia sed counseling and education. JFS does not provide insurance\, bro kerage services and has no financial stake in assisting beneficiaries with Medicare choices.
\n“Our main goal is to help educate and save people money\,” said Kelly G. Loeb. Last year\, individuals w ho received JFS Medicare counseling enjoyed an average savings of $2\,805 per person for a collective total savings of $790\,409.
\n“Even if a beneficiary’s medications haven’t changed in a year\, it’s stil l a good idea to review coverage – savings can come from switching pharmac ies\, using a mail order service for or even receiving some medications at no cost through patient assistance programs\,” Kelly said.
\nDuring the 30- to 60-minute consultations\, plan details including prescription and other healthcare savings will be discussed. Individuals must b ring a current list of prescription medications and their red\, white\, an d blue Medicare cards.
