According to the article “Two Medicare Programs Are Leaving Amarillo” found on connectamarillo.com, Secure Horizons and Physicians Health Choice are leaving the city.
Members who were part of these plans and wish to remain on Medicare still have options. The Area Agency on Aging is offering help to these citizens. They are offering advice and guidance free of charge to those who need help. Lisa Hancock is a volunteer for the Agency and told Pronews 7 that they try to help find a plan that will cover prescription costs because Medicare often does not.
Open enrollement for prescription drug and health plans through Medicare goes through the end of December. If you need assistance you should contact your local Area Agency on Aging.
