With the Medicare Open Enrollment Period underway, the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) offers free counseling to assist Oklahomans eligible for Medicare.

In past years, OID’s Medicare Assistance Program (MAP) hosted annual Medicare Open Enrollment events across the state, educating Medicare beneficiaries on their options, enrollment eligibility and changes for the upcoming year. Despite the inability to host in-person events due to COVID-19, MAP has found new ways to continue consumer education and services.

“The Medicare Assistance Program is an important and valuable service we provide Oklahomans. We’re making their services more accessible by offering free, one-on-one Medicare counseling remotely and hosting free educational webinars,” said Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready.

Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs from October 15 through December 7. During this time, beneficiaries can make changes to their health insurance coverage and review current coverage options.

Participants can  sign up for  remaining webinars and watch the webinar recording at www.youtube.com/okinsurance411. Each webinar is free, but registration is required. To register, visit www.oid.ok.gov/MOEP.
