Medicare Counselors Bring Parts A Through D to Bob Lucas Library

The Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs October 15 to December 7. During Open Enrollment a person can join, drop, or switch to another Medicare Advantage Plan with or without drug coverage. Before that window opens, the Altadena Library District has scheduled an hour on Monday morning that takes Parts A, B, C and D one at a time.

“Navigating Medicare Together: A, B, C and D of Medicare” runs from 11 a.m. to noon at the Bob Lucas Memorial Library and Literacy Center, 2659 Lincoln Ave. Attendees will receive a general overview of Medicare and how it applies to them.

The presenters represent the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program of the Center for Health Care Rights, whose counselors are state-registered and based in Los Angeles. The Center is a nonprofit public service, funded primarily by the California Department of Aging program its counselors work under and funded as well by the state of California, the County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles.

The Center provides free Medicare health insurance counseling to thousands of Los Angeles residents each year, and help is available in more than 230 languages. Los Angeles County residents can also call a toll-free helpline to schedule a free telephone appointment. The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs January 1 to March 31.

Monday’s session sits at the Bob Lucas branch while the Altadena Main Library is temporarily closed for renovation. The branch number is (626) 798-8338. Bring the questions that do not fit in a form field.
