										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Medicare Open Enrollment Assistance</strong><br><strong>October 15 – December 7</strong><br><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp;Madison County Health Care System – Chesnut Building, 300 W Hutchings St, Winterset, IA<br><strong>Appointments:</strong>&nbsp;Call (515) 462‑5370</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Free, Unbiased Medicare Help</h2>



<p>Medicare Open Enrollment is the one time each year when you can review and change your Medicare Advantage (Part C) or prescription drug (Part D) plans. From October 15 through December 7, Madison County Health Care System invites local Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers, and families to schedule appointments with our certified SHIIP counselor for one‑on‑one assistance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is SHIIP?</h2>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP)</strong>&nbsp;provides free, confidential, and objective counseling to help you make informed decisions about your Medicare coverage. SHIIP can help you:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Compare 2026 Medicare Advantage and Part D plans</li>



<li>Review your current plan and drug list to ensure cost savings</li>



<li>Understand Parts A, B, C, and D coverage options</li>



<li>Explore Medigap (supplement) plans and enrollment timelines</li>



<li>Resolve billing questions or claims issues</li>



<li>Identify cost‑saving programs and financial assistance options</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Steve Simmons</strong>, Madison County’s certified SHIIP counselor, offers confidential appointments by phone or in person at the Chesnut Building. Steve helps you navigate Medicare options step‑by‑step — from plan comparisons to completing enrollment forms.</p>



<p><strong>Phone:</strong>&nbsp;(515) 462‑5370<br><strong>Service Area:</strong>&nbsp;Madison County and surrounding communities<br><strong>Appointments:</strong>&nbsp;Required; limited slots available during open enrollment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schedule Your Appointment</h2>



<p>Appointments are available year‑round, but space fills quickly during open enrollment (Oct 15–Dec 7). Book early to ensure enough time for plan comparisons and any enrollment steps before the deadline.</p>



<p><strong>Call (515) 462‑5370</strong>&nbsp;to schedule your SHIIP or SMP counseling session at the Chesnut Building.</p>
