Coverage can vary by county.
Medicare Advantage and Part D plan networks and availability are often set at the county level, so what's available in Stephenson County may differ from a neighboring county. We check current plan details for your specific address rather than assume they match a neighboring area.
Illinois SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program), through the Illinois Department on Aging, offers free and unbiased Medicare counseling at 1-800-252-8966. We're glad to be one source among several as you get your questions answered.
