Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 3:05 PM MST


Open enrollment for the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit begins November 15, 2007, and many seniors need assistance in understanding the many choices they will have.  There will be 51 prescription drug plans available in Arizona in 2008.  The only way to compare these plans is to use the Medicare Plan Finder on the www.medicare.gov Web site.  In order to assist seniors several events are being sponsored by the SEAGO Area Agency on Aging.  Individuals will be on hand to explain Medicare benefits and answer individual questions.
