medicare prescription planning workshop

On Tuesday, November 15, 2005, OCA-GS sponsored a seminar so that those with Medicare could enroll in the Medicare prescription drug plan that starts January 1, 2006. It was an opportunity for everyone to learn and can make informed decisions.

The seminar was held at the Swedish Medical Center/First Hill and computer help was available to actually do the enrollments.

Topics covered included: What is Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage?, What is Extra Help?, How to enroll in the Prescription Plan?, Is there help to pay for this (Extra Help)? And Where to go to get help?

If you need help or know people who need such help in the future, please contact:
