Know Your Medicare Benefits

The Affordable Care Act provides many improvements in benefits for Seniors on Medicare, including free preventive services, free annual wellness visits and a 50% discount on prescription drugs for Medicare recipients in the coverage gap known as the "donut hole." 

In the coming days I will be sharing important FACTS about Medicare, preventive services and other benefits now available for Seniors on Medicare. I encourage you to learn more about your Medicare benefits. The benefits are there to help support your continued good health.


FACT: 
Under the health care law, your existing guaranteed Medicare-covered benefits won't be reduced or taken away.  Neither will your ability to choose your own doctor.
