 White Plains, NY - A free, introductory session on Medicare “basics” will take place on Oct. 21 at the County Office Building, 9 S. First Ave., Mount Vernon.
The talk is presented by the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS), and will be held from 10 a.m. to noon in the eighth-floor conference room.
Speaker Jeanne Pici, a DSPS program administrator, will provide information about Medicare parts A, B, C and D and how to use Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) for even greater savings. EPIC is a New York State-sponsored plan that helps eligible seniors pay prescription drug costs. She will also discuss Medigap insurance, cost-sharing and preventive benefits.
For more information or to register, call DSPS’ Medicare Information Line at (914) 813-6100. The information line is open year-round to help seniors with Medicare issues.
More information about Medicare is available on DSPS’ Web site at www.westchestergov.com/seniors, and at www.Medicare.gov, the government’s official Medicare site.
