Medicare Resource Fair and Presentation Oct. 18 at Pasadena Senior Center

A resource fair Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St., will focus on Medicare, the federal health insurance program for adults 65 and older. The event is open to members and non-members of the Pasadena Senior Center.

With open enrollment for 2018 approaching from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15, older adults 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 and help everyone understand their options for the coming year. Those health plans include AGA, Blue Shield, Care 1st, CareMore, Center for Health Rights, Health Net, Humana, InterValley Health Plan, Kaiser Permanente, LA Care, SCAN and UnitedHealthcare.

At noon, a one-hour presentation will begin about Medicare issues and upcoming changes for 2018.
