The Orange County Department on Aging and the N.C. Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) invite Medicare beneficiaries to review their 2021 Medicare Drug Plans and Medicare Advantage Plans.

Medicare plans change each calendar year. Your medication costs can increase significantly if your plan changes their drug list and pricing as of Jan 1. Many people save hundreds and even thousands of dollars by switching plans, but most can only change during Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period: October 15 – December 7. The Orange County Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) provides free and unbiased assistance.

Meet with a certified counselor for an Annual Medicare Review. You can choose an in-person appointment at the Seymour Center in Chapel Hill or the Passmore Center in Hillsborough. Or choose to schedule a Zoom video chat.

To schedule an appointment, visit our website at www.orangecountync.gov/ocncSHIIP or call 919-245-4274.

Dates: Oct. 15 - Dec. 7

Time: By appointment only

Locations:

  • Passmore Center, 103 Meadowlands Drive, Hillsborough
  • Seymour Center, 2551 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill
  • Video Call
