Anyone eligible for this plan is encouraged to attend and bring with them a complete list of all prescriptions they are currently taking. Staff from Georgia Cares, a program of the Georgia Department of Human Resources and Division of Aging Services and Area Agencies on Aging, will also be on hand to answer questions.
“The cost and coverage of the Medicare prescription drug plan can change over time,” said Congressman Kingston. “I encourage those people with Medicare to take this time to review those changes and make sure they still have the plan that best fits their needs or the needs of their loved one. Adequate prescription drug coverage is very important to many older Americans and we want to make sure that all of their questions are answered.”
