Beware of Medicare Fraud During Open Enrollment 🚨

Medicare Open Enrollment is coming up, and unfortunately, scammers and high-pressure sales tactics can come with it.

A local CHOICES counselor can help you:
✔️ Help you compare your current Medicare health or drug plan with other Medicare plan choices
✔️ Help you sign up for a new plan
✔️ Help you avoid high-pressure sales tactics
