Each fall the Centers for Medicare &Medicaid (CMS) publish a new version of the “Medicare & You 2009” handbook.  The handbook contains important information about 2009 Medicare costs, covered services, beneficiary choices, help for those with limited income and resources, and beneficiary rights and protections.

All households with a Medicare recipient should receive a mailed copy within the coming days.
