Resources for Medicare Part D Beneficiaries
Resources for Medicare Part D Beneficiaries
I've been contacted by hundreds of Oregonians about Medicare Part D. My offices receive calls every day from Medicare beneficiaries and their relatives baffled about picking the right plan.
I have listed the resources available in the Fourth District if you need help. I will do my best to keep this site updated. Please let me know if you discover other useful resources by calling 1-800-944-9603 or sending me an e-mail.
National | State-Wide | Benton | Coos | Curry | Douglas | Josephine | Lane | Linn
