Open Enrollment for Medicare Part D

The enrollment period to sign up for Medicare Part D will open in October and run through the first part of December. Let the Seniors Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) help you choose a plan. We can also help you apply for Low Income Subsidy Assistance. Volunteer counselors are trained by the NC Dept. of Insurance and provide free individual assistance to people, who are Medicare eligible. Counselors advise about Medicare, Medicare Part D, Low Income Subsidy Assistance, Medicare supplements, Medicare Advantage, long - term care insurance, assist with billing problems and Medicare fraud and abuse. Counselors are available at South Iredell Senior Center and Iredell Senior Center by appointment only. A Hispanic speaking interpreter to assist with these counseling services can be available upon request. For more information or an appointment call 704-873-8568 and ask to speak with Phyllis H. Deal, Iredell SHIIP Coordinator.
