DSPS’ Medicare Information Line at (914) 813-6100 is open year-round to help seniors with Medicare issues. 

Those issues include Medicare parts A, B, C and D, Medigap insurance, cost-sharing, preventive benefits and appeals.

The Medicare Information Line can also answer questions about New York State’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage, which is known as EPIC and helps eligible seniors pay prescription drug costs.

More information about Medicare plan choices and application for extra help with the prescription drug costs are available at the federal government’s official Medicare site.

Several times each year, the Department of Senior Programs and Services offers a Medicare information workshop. Check our events calendar for dates and times.
