Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plan Open Enrollment Events for 2026 Coverage

The Macon County Health Department will be hosting Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plan Open Enrollment Events. These events will be held on October 15th, October 22nd, November 5th, November 19th and December 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Residents can review their plans at no cost, though donations are accepted.

Trained SHIP counselors will assist Medicare beneficiaries with reviewing their Medicare prescription drug plan or Medicare advantage plan options. It is very important for Medicare beneficiaries to review their drug coverage yearly to ensure they are receiving the most cost-effective coverage. Participants are required to schedule an appointment to attend an event and should bring their Medicare cards and a complete list of medications, including dosage and frequency taken.

Medicare Open Enrollment takes place from October 15th through December 7th. To schedule an appointment and/or learn more about these events, please call (217) 423-6550 option 5.

When you are deprived of sleep, your whole body suffers. Do not disservice yourself by trivializing the damage sleep deprivation can do. You can and should seek professional medical attention when sleep disorders prevent you from getting a good night’s rest. Call 217-762-1690 to learn more about testing for sleep disorders at Kirby Medical Center.
