It is open enrollment time for Medicare Part D, and now is the time to make that appointment to see your local advocate to review your plan.

Diane Cusey with Community Care Systems in DeWitt County says her schedule is filling up fast with appointments, so do not wait to get that appointment made.

According to Cusey, seniors will want to make note of some of the changes to this year's plans. She indicates those changes are going to make this a very busy year.

Cusey will be making the rounds across the County to provide access to as many people as possible. Her stops will be parts of the County, mostly in November and December.

Cusey encourages seniors to still try to make an appointment with her - even if their plans are not changing. She indicates there may be better, more affordable plans for people if their circumstances have changed.

Last year, Cusey booked nearly 250 appointments, with half of those having plans adjusted, saving residents over $82,000.  

Community Care Systems has a new office at the Flower Corner building across from Casey's on Route 54. You can contact Cusey to make an appointment by calling 217-518-8010.
