Crossroads of Pella is bringing back its Welcome to Medicare Seminar this month. The event will take place today at 5:30pm in the Pella Community Center Auditorium (2nd floor).

All presenters are trained by the State of Iowa Insurance Division and work as Senior Health Insurance Information Program Counselors. The seminar will cover Medicare Parts A&B, Prescription Drug Benefits, Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance, and how to identify fraud, errors, and abuse in the system. Anyone who could benefit from this information should call Crossroads at 628-1212 to sign up by today.

Crossroads is also once again aiming to help seniors looking to save money on their Part D prescription plans. Mike Fillipini is a Senior Health Insurance Information Program counselor with Crossroads of Pella, and says during the open enrollment period for Medicare that runs October 15th through December 7th, they will provide help to match prescription drugs with plans that would maximize savings.

Appointments for Pella area citizens are available by contacting Crossroads of Pella at 628-1212.
