The annual Medicare Open Enrollment period runs October 15 through December 7. As our health needs, insurance plans and medicine costs change, older adults on Medicare should speak with a certified SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs for Everyone) counselor each year to get the best coverage for the lowest cost.

Call Age Strong at 617-635-4366 to sign up for an in-person appointment at upcoming neighborhood open enrollment events or to speak to an Age Strong certified SHINE counselor by phone.

What to bring: your list of prescriptions, Medicare/other insurance cards, your Medicare.gov username/password (if already set up) and valid ID.

The purpose of this meeting is to get community input and listen to the resident's positions on this proposal. This is a virtual meeting via Zoom. 

Meeting ID:  848 1843 9456
