Fall is here, and it is time to revisit Medicare issues as this is the time to make any changes you may need or ask questions you may have about your medical insurance and prescription drug coverage.

First of all, the Social Security Administration began sending redetermination letters in mid-September, to people who qualified for the Extra Help program for Medicare Part D. If you receive this redetermination letter, DO NOT throw it away. It should be completed and returned to Social Security within 30 days. If you need help understanding or completing this form, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or PASS at 215-923-1900 where assistance is rendered in the English and Polish Languages.

In October, medical insurance and prescription plans will begin to announce changes in their plans for 2008. If you would like to make any changes to either your medical insurance or prescription plan, Medicare has an open enrollment period from November 15th through December 31st for people that would like to make changes for 2008. If you need assistance, please call PASS at 215-923-1900. You will be assisted or referred to the proper agency that can handle your concern.
