MEDICARE'S 2012 ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD ENDS DECEMBER 7

BOISE, ID (November 28, 2011) - The Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) office of the Idaho Department of Insurance reminds consumers that December 7 is the last day for Medicare open enrollment.

"Senior citizens have a small window of opportunity left to review their plans," says Department Director Bill Deal. "Any changes to existing plans need to be made by next Wednesday."

Idahoans who have questions about open enrollments are encouraged to call SHIBA at 800-247-4422, or Medicare at 800-633-4227. Due to expected high call volume, people who choose to call Medicare may have the best results by calling in the evening or on weekends.
