Good morning All,

In speaking with several Program Coordinators over the past few weeks, I have learned that many Programs have already reached appointment capacity for 2018 annual open enrollment.  Please send a quick email letting me know how full your counseling calendar is at this time (prior to the start of open enrollment). For example, 75% of our counseling spots are full.    Additionally, please feel free to share your strategies for stretching resources i.e. referrals to other sources, sending out instructions to use Medicare Plan Finder.    

 

As you know, NCOA regularly receives request for assistance and routinely direct callers to their local SHIP/ MIPPA network and knowing capacity helps us set appropriate caller expectations  Thank you for your sharing and do not hesitate to contact myself or Center staff if we can be of further assistance during this hectic time.
