A Valentine's Day reminder from Medicare

Valentine's Day will bring more than hearts and chocolate this year.

If you're in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you have through Tuesday, Feb. 14, to leave your plan, switch to Original Medicare, and join a Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) Plan. Visit the Medicare Plan Finder at www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan to find and compare plans in your area.

The SHICK (Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas) program of the Johnson County Area Agency on Aging can also provide advice regarding options and processes. Just call 913-715-8856 for assistance or to schedule an appointment with a counselor.
