The Annual Enrollment Period for Part D drug plans and Part C Medicare Advantage plans begins October 15 and will end December 7. PASSAGES Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) is providing several community workshops entitled What’s New with Medicare in 2024 to help Medicare beneficiaries make the best choice possible for their health care needs in the coming year.
