Medicare re-enrollment is j ust around the corner and starting Oct. 15\, Jewish Family Services is off ering free consultations to help individuals sort through options and save money from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
\nMedicare counseling is by appointment only for all Med icare-eligible current and new JFS clients regardless of income. Appointme nts are offered via Zoom\, in-person\, or phone.
\nMedicare experts Kelly G. Loeb\, MSW\, and Liz Conaway Muensch\, JFS Older Adult Care Manag ers\, provide impartial\, unbiased counseling and education. JFS d oes not provide insurance\, brokerage services and has no financial stake in assisting beneficiaries with Medicare choices.
\n“Our ma
in goal is to help educate and save people money\,” said Kelly G. Loeb. Last year\, individuals who received JFS Medicare counseling enjoyed
an average savings of $2\,805 per person for a collective total savings o
f $790\,409.
“Even if a beneficiary’s medications haven’ t changed in a year\, it’s still a good idea to review coverage – savings can come from switching pharmacies\, using a mail order service for or eve n receiving some medications at no cost through patient assistance program s\,” Kelly said.
\nDuring the 30- to 60-minute consultations\, plan details including prescription and other healthcare savings will be discus sed. Individuals must bring a current list of prescription medicat ions and their red\, white\, and blue Medicare cards.
\nWe are hosting a free community Health Fair a t our Brookside East office and food pantry from 1-3 p.m.\, Oct 1\, 425 Ea st 63rd St.
\nParticipants will have the opportunity to receive free services provided by JFS and several of its community partners including:
\n“Taking care of your mental and physical healt h often takes a back a seat when you are struggling financially and facing food and housing insecurities. We see this everyday among our clients\,” said Maggie Haghirian\, LMSW\,director of KesherKC\, JFS’ social service a nd food pantry program.
\n“Neglecting your health can obviously lead to other ongoing challenges for you and your family\,” she said. “We are excited to offer and provide access to many free healthcare services along with our other community partners.
