Annual Medicare Review Seminar
Friday, October 21st at 1:00pm
Health and Retirement Services is offering local seminars to review Medicare, how it can impact you and if you’re getting all the benefits you should as things change annually. There’s lots of information about Medicare in TV commercials, mailings and phone calls, it’s so confusing and no one knows who to believe. Our goal is to provide clarity. We’ll be discussing the plan changes and differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage plans and Prescription drug plans. We’ll update you on available state assistance and new qualifications for all tiers of the Medicare Saving Program. We’ll also review how the Part D coverage gap or doughnut hole works and how the Insulin Saving program can impact your annual drug costs. We’re able to answer questions on all the plans offered in the state. This event is being facilitated by Senior Health and Retirement Service, located in Madison CT.

Torn or tattered American Flags can be “retired” in the Flag Retirement Drop Box located on the first floor of Norwich City Hall, 100 Broadway. Flags left in the box will be properly taken out of service. American Flags should never be thrown in the garbage.
Can’t make it to Norwich City Hall? Drop off your worn flag at Rose City Senior Center and we will bring it to City Hall for you and place it in the box for proper disposal
AARP Prescription Discounts
AARP has partnered with Optum Rx to help members save on FDA-approved medications. If you are already an AARP member, the discount is immediately available. If you are not an AARP member, contact Optum Rx at 1-877-422-7718.
When you go to your pharmacy, show the pharmacist your AARP membership card and ask what the amount of the prescription discount would be. You can either pay with the prescription discount OR with your Part D card but you cannot use both together. Also, if you have a deductible with your Part D card or are in the coverage gap with your Part
D card, this expenditure will not count towards either.
