Senator Marshall Encourages Seniors to Take Advantage of Medicare Open Enrollment Starting Today

Washington – On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), reminds seniors that Medicare Open Enrollment begins today, Wednesday, Oct. 15. This is the one time of the year Medicare recipients can make changes to their plans, if necessary.

The Senator’s office has staff ready to assist Kansans and has updated its online resource page to help Kansas seniors navigate the Medicare open enrollment season. Kansas seniors can use this webpage to research Medicare benefit plans, find resources for benefits counseling, learn about avoiding scams, and read about other important information related to Medicare open enrollment.

“I want my office to be a resource for Kansas seniors who have questions about Medicare open enrollment,” said Senator Marshall. “These are important decisions, and I want to ensure all seniors have access to the help needed to make decisions that are in their own best interest. I encourage seniors to do their research and take their time. Consult with your doctor, local hospital, and community pharmacist about how changes will impact your care. Utilize the available state and federal Medicare resources and ask them questions. Taking these steps will ensure you pick the plan that is best for you.”

Those who are happy with their plans do not need to take any action to retain their current coverage and plan options. Open enrollment ends on Dec. 7.

Kansas seniors with questions about open enrollment or Medicare in general can call Senator Marshall’s Salina office to speak with a casework specialist. The Salina office can be reached at 785-829-9000.
