Free Medicare Help for DC Seniors
The deadline for signing up for the Medicare prescription drug plan is May 15.

Be sure to bring your Medicare card and Medicaid card (if you also receive Medicaid), a list of your medications or prescription bottles, and the letters you may have about Medicare drug benefits from the Social Security Administration, a Medicare agency, the District of Columbia government, ADAP or a private drug plan.
