Questions
Can I print and post this Medicare open enrollment flyer?
Yes. It is free to print, copy and post on any bulletin board, in a newsletter or at a front desk. No sign-up needed.
Is this an official Medicare flyer?
No. AI for Seniors is not part of Medicare or the U.S. government. Every number on the flyer comes from Medicare.gov, the SHIP National Technical Assistance Center (shiphelp.org) or the Senior Medicare Patrol, checked October 18, 2026.
What is the blank line for?
Write in the phone number of your local SHIP office, or of a Medicare counseling day at your center or library, so people know exactly who to call.
