Seniors that are currently enrolled in Medicare or those about to enter the program are encouraged to seek help through the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIPP) when open enrollment begins.
Director of Crossroads of Pella Jim Hibma says they aim to help anyone participating in Medicare drug coverage. Drugs are grouped into different tiers by each carrier and plan, which may be based on whether it is generic or branded and other factors.
Hibma encourages anyone who wants to set up a session with a SHIPP Counselor during the open enrollment period to attend an information session on Tuesday, September 26th or to contact Crossroads of Pella at 628-1212.
