EXCELLENT GOVERNMENT SERVICE ALERT!

FROM:  John P. Stewart 

              Executive Director

 

DATE: February 23, 2006

 

AREA/SERVICES:

Commission on Aging and Retirement Education (CARE) - Senior Health and Prescription Drug Coverage

 

BACKGROUND:

On January 1, 2006, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, known as Medicare Part D went into effect as a result of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. The Medicare Prescription Drug Plan represents the most significant and complex change in the 40 year history of the Medicare program and will affect up to approximately 103,000 older adults and disabled Medicare beneficiaries in Baltimore City. CARE, through its Senior Health Insurance and Assistance Program (SHIP) has been conducting outreach and education to Medicare beneficiaries about the complex requirements of selecting and enrolling in Part D plans, or understanding their options. CARE has also partnered with other senior-serving organizations to assist with outreach, education, enrollment and other plan options for Medicare beneficiaries.

 

ALERT:

As part of the outreach effort, CARE will participate in Bethel A.M.E. Community Outreach Center's Health Fair to be held on Saturday, March 4, 2006, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., at Bethel A.M. Church located 1300 Druid Hill Avenue (see attached flier). 

 

OUTCOME:

To ensure that all eligible older adults and disabled Medicare beneficiaries in Baltimore City are enrolled in an appropriate prescription drug plan by the deadline of May 15th to avoid inappropriate enrollment or subsequent penalties.

If you have any further questions regarding the Community Health Fair, please contact Cassandra Wilks Coble at 410-225-8397.  For information regarding this alert, contact Felicia Walker French at 410 396-4932.
