VIRTUAL SHINE APPOINTMENTS

9:00 AM, 10:00AM, 11:00AM

AND

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19

9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:000 AM

Outside of the Medicare open enrollment period, there are two common themes for why someone requests a SHINE appointment. The first is they are new to Medicare because either they are approaching age 65, are over 65 but are just now retiring, or have been receiving Social Security disability income for 2 years and find themselves involuntarily enrolled. The second is related to assistance with Mass Health programs.

If either of these applies to you, call

508-228-4490 for an appointment
