CareLink, a North Little Rock-based nonprofit dedicated to providing resources for older people and their families in Central Arkansas, will be offering free Medicare Drug Plan Reviews during the Open Enrollment Period for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage from Oct. 15 – Dec. 7.
An individual’s health changes from year to year, so reevaluating plans during the open enrollment period each year ensures that a medicare recipient’s plan remains up to date with their health care needs. Doing so, CareLink has stated, can often result in considerable savings.
“CareLink is a local nonprofit not affiliated with any insurance plan,” said Elise Hensley, Care Coordination Manager. “Our counselors provide an objective review of medications and the options available from Medicare Prescription Drug providers to help you determine your best plan for 2023. In the past, these reviews save Arkansas seniors hundreds of dollars monthly.”
Recipients interested in a review must book an appointment. Recipients who are homebound can receive a review in their home, while other appointments will take place in CareLink’s North Little Rock office or during scheduled times at the following central Arkansas locations:
