A representative from OSHIIP will be presenting a talk at the Perrysburg Area Senior Center, 140 W. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg, on Oct. 1, at 1 p.m. Come learn about the recent changes to Medicare and how the Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 Medicare Annual Coordinated Election Period can work for you.

Attendees will also get tips on how to enroll for 2020 coverage in a Medicare prescription drug plan (Part D) and/or a Medicare health plan, and will be able to see if they qualify to save an average of $3,900 on their prescription drug costs.
