Answer 1

Although I don't live there, I have heard Utah is a great place to live! And, there are folks there who can help get your questions answered thanks to a national network of Area Agencies on Aging that are established under the Older Americans Act that was recently re-authorized by Congress.

You can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find the Area Agency on Aging that serves Unitah, Utah. Since Medicare and its different plans and components can be pretty confusing, the professionals at the Utah Area Agency on Aging should be able to help you with what you need to know about Medicare options, supplemental policies and prescription drug coverage under Part D. Of course, they will also be able to tell you if HMO coverage under Medicare is available in this part of Utah, too. You will get objective information from this source because these professionals aren't "selling" a particular plan or policy and they know the latest about the changes in Medicare that are affecting seniors in this part of Utah--they work with seniors and caregivers every day!

Area Agencies on Aging are one of the best kept secrets around for seniors and their families who need quality information about Medicare and consumer issues.

If you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know, too. Area Agencies on Aging are funded by the Older Americans Act and most don't have big budgets for services or advertising!

You might want to check out volunteer opportunities with the Utah Area Agency on Aging, too--lots of wonderful folks volunteer to help their older friends and neighbors through programs supported by the Older Americans Act! Great way to meet new friends and neighbors!

Good luck and best wishes on your big move!
