SHINE helps area residents make informed decisions

SHINE, a volunteer program with the FL Dept of Elder Affairs, is here to assist you in making the best informed decision for your 2013 Medicare Part D Drug Plan or Medicare Advantage Plan.  Each site will have a short presentation followed by individual counseling.  SHINE provides free, unbiased and confidential counseling. 

Low Income Medicare beneficiaries should ask about Extra Help (LIS) to help pay for your 2013 Medicare Prescription Drug Plan costs.  

Bring with you your Medicare Card, your 2012 Plan card (if any) and all your prescription drug bottles or a 90 day listing of your prescriptions from your pharmacy.

Please call 1-800-262-2243 for a site near you or to be referred to a SHINE volunteer.
