Medicare open enrollment is currently underway and will continue until December 7, 2024. This period allows Kansas seniors to review and change their Medicare benefits if needed.

U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., has introduced a new webpage designed to assist Kansas seniors during the Medicare open enrollment season. The webpage provides resources for researching Medicare benefit plans, accessing benefits counseling, learning about scam prevention, and obtaining other essential information related to Medicare open enrollment.

Senator Marshall stated, "Our office stands ready to point Kansas seniors in the right direction this Medicare open enrollment season." He advised that those satisfied with their current plan need not take any action. However, for those considering changes to their coverage, he emphasized the importance of research and consultation: "I encourage seniors to do their research and take their time. Consult with your doctor, local hospital, and community pharmacist about how changes will impact your care. Utilize the available state and federal Medicare resources and ask them questions. Taking these steps will ensure you pick the plan that is best for you."

Kansas seniors who have questions regarding open enrollment or general Medicare inquiries can contact Senator Marshall’s Salina office at 785-829-9000 to speak with a casework specialist.

The webpage can be accessed through Senator Marshall's official site.
