News Flash: SHINE/AARP Open Enrollment Video
With so many residents seeking help to review their Medicare coverage options, SHINE appointments are filling quickly—and we want to make sure everyone still has access to reliable information and support. To help meet this growing demand, the state SHINE team partnered with AARP to create an educational video that offers an overview of Medicare and the Open Enrollment process. The video explains coverage options and demonstrates how to use the Medicare Plan Finder to compare Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D plans available in your area. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFgjEI3-SZ0
