LIFE Senior Services is offering free Medicare assistance to help people compare plans and understand their options during Medicare Open Enrollment, which has begun. Appointments can be made by calling 918-664-9000.
Why it matters
Open Enrollment is the annual window when people can change their Medicare coverage, and plan choices directly affect what medications and costs are covered. Free, one-on-one guidance can help residents avoid choosing a plan that does not fit their needs.
The announcement is a program notice rather than a measured dataset, and it identifies December 7 as the close of Medicare Open Enrollment. The source does not provide enrollment counts, appointment capacity, or how many plan changes are typically made locally.

Big Picture
Medicare Open Enrollment is an annual window in which beneficiaries may switch between Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans, and local assistance programs like LIFE Senior Services' fill the gap for people who find plan comparison difficult. Their free counseling operates within that yearly cycle, which repeats each fall.
Residents enrolled in Medicare can compare plans before December 7 to see which one covers their prescriptions and expected costs best. Calling 918-664-9000 to book a free appointment is the step needed to start that comparison.
The takeaway
Reviewing your Medicare plan before December 7 can reveal whether your current coverage still fits your medications and costs. Free help is available by calling 918-664-9000 to schedule an appointment.
What happens next
Medicare Open Enrollment closes December 7, so residents who want to change plans must act before that date.
