Medicare Open Enrollment
 The annual open enrollment for Medicare will be held October 15 through December 7.  People with Medicare get a full seven weeks to compare plans and make decisions so that they will have new benefit information and membership cards in hand when their new coverage begins January 1, 2013.  The open enrollment period is the ONLY time that changes can be made to Medicare plans.  For more information, please call East Texas Aging & Disability Resource Center at 1-877-237-2268 or East Texas Area Agency on Aging at 1-800-442-8845.
