The Illinois Department on Aging reminds there’s help for seniors navigating Medicare’s open enrollment period. It’s a good idea to compare plans each year to make sure you are getting the coverage you need at the best prices says Senior Health Insurance Program or SHIP Director Sandy Leith. She suggests starting with the website “mymedicare.gov”.
Locally, SHIP counselors are available through the Mercer County Senior Center. For more information, call 582-7221.
