May 2008

2008 Senior Health Insurance Guide Now Available

Our annual Guide To Health Insurance For Delaware Senior Citizens contains descriptions and updates on federal Medicare programs and policies, includes the latest rates for Medicare supplement ("Medigap") policies and lists companies offering long-term care insurance in Delaware. It is one of the department's most popular consumer publications and I am proud of the changes we've made to it over the last few years to make it more useful and informative. The 2008 edition is now available online here and will be inserted in newspapers around the state in early May. Or, to have a copy sent to you, call us at 1-800-282-8611.

To contact me or my office anytime, please email me at Matthew.Denn@state.de.us, email my staff at consumer@state.de.us or call 1-800-282-8611. Thanks for stopping by.
