It’s Medicare signup season and things have changed since last year. MODA is no longer offering a Medicare Advantage Plan in Clatsop County, but there are alternatives.
Any seniors having trouble figuring out what to do for 2021 can get free help from NorthWest Senior and Disability Services.
Their web address is https://nwsds.org/ and the phone number is (503) 861-4202. You can also email your questions to Suzanne.Bjaranson@nwsds.org.
You’ll want to complete your signup by December 7. You can also find a wealth of information at Medicare.gov.
