Open Enrollment

By now you’ve probably received open enrollment packets from the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA), the Arizona State Retirement System, and perhaps a myriad of other insurance companies describing the plans various insurance plans offered for retirees.  All of this information can be very confusing.  What is a person to do?

Get ready for this year's open enrollment period by brushing up on Medicare and health care options for retirees at ASURA's annual health insurance seminar that will take place this week on Thursday, October 22^nd from 10am - Noon.  This year due to the large demand the seminar will be held in the Tempe History Museum, right next door to the Tempe Library, on the corner of Rural Road and Southern Avenue.  Parking is free.

The seminar will include a general overview of Medicare, highlighting definitions and differences among Medicare supplement plans, Advantage plans, and prescription drug plans will be given by David Parra, an Arizona AARP Medicare specialist. Representatives from ADOA Benefit Options and ASRS will follow with a review of their respective plans and answers to member questions.
