Each fall, Medicare holds its Open Enrollment period, when members can assess current healthcare plans and prescription medications. Age Strong's certified SHINE (serving the health insurance needs of everyone) counselors will host in-person Open Enrollment and benefits events across the city for Boston residents age 60+ to make sure you're getting the best coverage for the least cost. 

It's recommended that every older adult assess plans each year, as medical needs change and prescription medication costs adjust. 

Age Strong advocates will be on-site to also help older adults find out if you're eligible for other cost-saving benefits including fuel assistance and food resources. 

Please call Age Strong to sign up for your in-person appointment at 617-635-4366. If you can't attend one of the planned sessions in Boston neighborhoods, you can meet with Age Strong advocates at Boston City Hall.
