Medicare Rights Center

I've been impressed with this non-profit.  If you are having questions or concerns, they are worth a toll free call. hotline: 1-800-333-4114

If you’re a person with Medicare you know that the Medicare system is complex, and often difficult to navigate.

Because of these complexities, it’s likely that you’re not taking full advantage of the benefits that are available, or you’re spending more than you need to on premiums and prescription drugs.

The Medicare Rights Center is dedicated to helping people with Medicare—people like you—get the health care and medications they need and make the most of their Medicare rights and options.

Our Services for People with Medicare and Their Caregivers and Education Programs arm people with information, empowering them to use all of the benefits to which they are entitled. We also have a full library of Resources for Professionals.

The Medicare Rights Center’s Public Policy team alerts Congress and the administration to problems facing Medicare consumers and recommends systemic improvements.

And our Communications department works with the press to keep consumers, policymakers and other professionals informed about the latest trends and changes in Medicare, and how they affect people with Medicare.

Thanks for this info, Meinuk; I will program this number into my phone!

Post what your experience is with them.  They seem to be up to speed on CKD5, but they are staffed in part by trained volunteers. (there are pros available, and they are also good at answering e-mails too.)
