A resource fair Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Pasadena Senior Center, 86 E. Holly St., will focus on Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older.
With open enrollment for 2016 approaching from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, seniors will receive information they need to make informed decisions about the medical and prescription plans that are best for them.
Health plan representatives will provide information and answer questions about Medicare plans and services. Those health plans include AARP California, Applied General Agency, Blue Shield of California, CareMore Health Plan, Health Net, Humana, Inter Valley Health Plan, Kaiser Permanente, LA Care Health Plan and United Health Care.
At noon a one-hour lecture on Medicare program issues and upcoming changes for 2016 will be presented by the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program. While reservations are not required, free box lunches will be provided after the lecture to the first 50 people who call (626) 795-4331 to confirm their attendance.
