Medicare Presentation with Karen Guadian

Karen Gaudian, from Ridgefield Social Services will be at the Ridgefield Library, November 6th at 5pm to talk about Medicare. This presentation is for everyone who is currently using or new to Medicare. This is your chance to ask questions and learn about important information every Medicare recipient needs to know.  The Center for Medicare Advocacy urges beneficiaries to “carefully weigh all their Medicare options.”

Medicare Advantage and Prescription drug plans make changes each year to premiums, coverage, and network providers. Open Enrollment is the only time that individuals can change their prescription coverage to assure they have the best coverage for their specific needs in the coming year.

Do you have the best coverage for YOUR needs?

Last year, Ridgefield’s team of certified Medicare CHOICES counselors met with over 150 local residents and were able to save them a total of $100,000 on prescription costs. Ridgefield Social Services is once again offering free confidential Medicare prescription counseling sessions during Open Enrollment (October 15 through December 7), at the Ridgefield Library. Individual Counseling Sessions at the Library are available by appointment. Call 203.431.2754 to schedule yours today, these sessions do fill up! These free one-on-one meetings provide a confidential review of your prescription coverage, an explanation of benefits and general assistance to people with Medicare. Counselors will compare your current coverage with plans for 2019 assuring all your medications are covered and you are not paying more then you need. For more information on any of our programs and to make your appointment to meet with a Ridgefield Medicare CHOICES counselor, please call Karen Gaudian at 203.431.2754 or email municipalagent@ridgefieldct.org. 

This program is made possible through the joint efforts of the Ridgefield Department of Social Services, the Ridgefield Library, Founders Hall the Western CT Area Agency on Aging (WCAAA), and additional support from the Commission on Aging (COA). The WCAAA is one of five Area Agencies on Aging in CT and is a private, not-for-profit organization which serves the needs of older adults or individuals with disabilities.
