Johnson County K-State Extension

The Medicare & You Handbook is on its way! The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services mails this important guide to all Medicare households each fall. Inside, you’ll find a summary of Medicare benefits, rights, and protections, lists of available health and drug plans, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Keep your handbook as a go‑to reference throughout the year. You can also download a copy at Medicare.gov. Prefer digital? Log in to your Medicare.gov account to sign up for the electronic version each fall instead of a paper copy.

Annual Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15. Senior Health Insurance Counselors for Kansans (SHICK) is here to help.
If you have questions or would like a free, confidential, and unbiased one‑to‑one counseling session, contact:
