A program of ARC, SHIP provides assistance, explana!ons, and plan comparisons. There is never a cost, sales, or any insurance affilia!ons. SHIP is especially helpful for those new to Medicare who are trying to navigate the system and meet deadlines; or to anyone wan!ng to lower current insurance costs and understand op!ons. Help is available by individual appointment various !mes each month, call ARC at 309-888- 9099. A counselor will return your call to set an appointment.

SHIP AND ONGOING ACTIVITIES 11

SHIP Q&A

Question: I have several reasons to question how well my 2020 Medicare Advantage plan will work for me. For example, I am considering changing two of the physician specialists that I see regularly, and I am concerned that the new providers may not be in-network with my current insurance plan. Given that the Medicare annual open enrollment period ended on December 7, do I have to wait until the next annual open enrollment in the fall of 2020 to drop or select another option?

Answer: No, you do not have to wait. For some-one like you who is already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, there is another open enroll-ment period January 1 - March 31 in 2020. Benefi-ciaries can switch from one MA plan to another MA plan. They can also return to original Medicare and enroll in a Medicare Part D drug plan, and could also apply for a Supplement plan which may/may not ap-prove of their enrollment.

It is important to understand this second open enroll-ment period only applies to someone already in an MA plan. It is not an opportunity for someone to en-roll in a MA plan if they are not already enrolled in one. A beneficiary also cannot switch from one Medi-care Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) to another Part D plan.

This second MA enrollment window was first made available in 2019, and it is not widely known or un-derstood. Fortunately, SHIP is available to help with your particular situation. Please note the disclaimer below and the additional information regarding SHIP in the adjacent column.

Disclaimer: The questions and answers in this article are intended to provide additional under-standing on relevant Medicare topics. For addi-

tional explanations specific to your situation, please call ARC and request that a SHIP counselor

contact you. You may also utilize SHIP walk-in hours on the 2nd Thursday and 4th Monday at

1:00 PM.

Construction Update

Construc!on has begun on the space on the west side of ARC, as well as the replacement of ARC’s hea!ng and cooling system. Making these large upgrades in an occupied building will not be without challenges, but the results will be worth it!

Current closures: Pickleball !mes have changed: Check at the Member Service Desk for most up-to-date !mes. Exercise Studio is closed. Classes relocated to Rec Room. The Walking Track may have minor interrup!ons.

Connect to ARC via our Facebook page for the latest informa!on on ac!vity cancella!ons due to our remodeling projects. Watch for emails from ARC or call and press “3” for current and upcoming room closures via our phone system.
