Find out what changes could affect your Medicare coverage and how much you will pay in 2014 when Don Milan and Anne Meade, Lincoln’s counselors from the Minuteman Senior Services SHINE health benefits counseling program, come to Bemis Hall on Friday, October 25 at 10 am.  This is an especially important time to be sure you understand and are satisfied with your benefits.  This year’s Medicare open enrollment period - from October 15 to December 7, 2013 - is your primary opportunity to change your plans, effective January 1st. Representatives from the major supplemental health insurance plans serving Lincoln, (Harvard Pilgrim, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, Humana, Fallon, and AARP/United Health Care) will give 2014 information.  It is a unique opportunity for you to learn about their products and get answers to questions. Also present will be representatives of Prescription Advantage (MA's secondary prescription assistance program) and Priscilla Leach (Lincoln's Veterans Service Officer).  This program was very helpful to many Lincoln residents last year.
