What is SHICK?
By Kristin Penner
SHICK stands for Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas. SHICK counselors educate the public and assist consumers on topics related to Medicare and health insurance so they can make an informed decision.
I, Kristin Penner am a certified SHICK counselor for Kansas and provide one on one counseling for senior adults on Medicare part D prescription drug plans. Reviewing your Part D drug plan each year is very important. Over the course of a year your medications may have changed, income may have changed, or the plan is going to be different the next year. These are just some of the reasons you should evaluate your plan with a certified individual each year to make sure your plan is working for your situation.
Medicare open enrollment starts October 15- December 7th. This is a great time to set up an appointment to meet with me and go over your drug prescription coverage. Appointments will be available in Haskell County November 3rd and 10th and in Stevens County November 16th and 23rd. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 620-675-2261.
