If you are at the tender young age that I am, I’m sure you realize that open enrollment is now underway for Medicare. The administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Seema Verma says it’s time to review your plan.

She says there are some changes, including significant price decreases…and one of the new programs is for insulin.

Verma says you can still call the helpline if you have questions and want to talk to someone. The helpline is 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).  You can go to medicare.gov to review your plan. There are more than 637-thousand Iowans on Medicare.
