Medicare Advantage open enrollment has begun.

Kim Castillo with Community Care Systems explains Medicare Advantage is much like the Medicare Part B open enrollment period that just wrapped up in that the plans change yearly so it is a good idea to get in and review those plans.

Castillo indicates the changes every year to Medicare Advantage can be difficult because one year a senior's doctor may be covered under a plan but then not the next.

Castillo adds Medicare Advantage open enrollment is not nearly as busy as the Part B open enrollment - so there is plenty of opportunity to catch her throughout DeWitt County in the next several weeks to review your coverage.

To get a hold of Castillo to schedule an appointment or ask any questions you may have, you can reach her at 217-518-8010. Castillo notes she can also help with numerous other senior assistance programs.
