During Medicare's open enrollment period, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, eligible seniors can join, switch, or drop plans. Among other options, seniors can change from a Prescription Drug Plan to a Medicare Advantage plan. They can also switch from a Medicare Advantage plan that doesn't offer drug coverage to one that does or join a different Prescription Drug Plan.

"Medicare open enrollment can represent a time of confusion and frustration for many seniors who are overwhelmed by a multitude of health plan options, as well as the often subtle differences between those options," said Shanor. "Community pharmacists are uniquely qualified to help. After attending this webinar, pharmacists will be able to confidently counsel patients about their Medicare options and learn why it's OK to turn to a Medicare licensed insurance agent when they need help."
