Medicare Open Enrollment is here. From October 15 through December 7, 2026, you can review your coverage and choose a plan for 2027. It is a good time to make sure the plan you have still serves your needs, and Aster has a team ready to help.
Meet Your Benefits Team
Aster has a team of dedicated Outreach and Social Services Specialists who can help you navigate your benefits. Whether you are comparing plans, wondering what help is available, or simply unsure where to start, our specialists can walk through your options with you.
More Than Medicare: Balancing Your Budget
Benefits enrollment goes beyond the services you need. It is also a great way to balance your budget. Many older adults do not take advantage of the community programs available to help make life more affordable, and the right support can ease the cost of health care, prescriptions, food, utilities, and more.
In a free, private, and confidential consultation, our team can help you determine which resources best fit your individual circumstances.
What Is a Benefits Enrollment Center?
As part of the National Council on Aging’s network, Aster is a certified Benefits Enrollment Center (BEC). As a BEC, we offer free, confidential services that help individuals on Medicare connect with resources that help them afford health care, prescriptions, food, utilities, and more.
Aster can help older adults and people with disabilities:
- Learn about public benefits programs
- Be screened for eligibility
- Receive assistance enrolling at community-based locations
Programs We Can Help You Explore
Some of the supports our team can connect you with include:
- Medicare Part D Extra Help
- Medicare Savings Program
- Medicaid/AHCCCS
- SNAP
- LIHEAP
- City of Mesa Utility Assistance Program
