MEDICARE DRUG FORUM TONIGHT

Sen. Kurt Schrader & Rep. Dave Hunt invite you and your family to attend tonight's forum to learn how to best navigate Medicare Part D:

Monday, February 13 @ 5:30pm
Gladstone Senior Center
1050 Portland Avenue, Gladstone

This is a great opportunity to get answers from the experts:

* Cynthia Hylton from Oregon Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance Program (SHIBA), the state agency designed specifically to help educate the public about Medicare.
* Katie Gauthier from Oregonians for Health Security will lend expertise about the Oregon Prescription Drug Program, the state-sponsored program to assist Oregonians with their prescription & wellness costs.

Over 20 different companies are offering multiple Medicare Part D plans in Oregon, but are not allowed to market these plans by calling you directly. To find out which plan is best for you, gather your list of prescriptions and visit www.medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or contact a volunteer from Oregon SHIBA (Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance) at 800-722-4134.

If you are unable to attend tonight's forum but would like more information about Medicare Part D, please contact Representative Hunt at rep.davehunt@state.or.us or 503/986-1440.
