Medicare open enrollment is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. This is the time for Medicare beneficiaries to compare plans and make sure they have the right health and prescription drug coverage for 2020.
A Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program forum will be held from 9:30-11 a.m. Thursday at the Live Oak Senior Center, 1777 Capitola Road. Attendees will learn how to compare plans and about 2020 Medicare options. Forums are free of charge, no reservation required.
