國家亞太老齡化中心（NAPCA）和安老自助處（Self-Help for the Elderly）正在共同舉辦一項免費活動，
以幫助亞裔美國人和太平洋島民社區的年長者檢查他們目前的健康保險範圍。一直以來，NAPCA都在努力鼓勵年長者對他們的健康保險進行“年檢”。
活動詳情：
日期：2022年11月2日（星期三）
時間：14:00–15:30 （入場登記時間：13:30）
地點：邵逸夫夫人樓（Lady Shaw Senior Center）
地址：1483 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133
活動現場將提供免費的多語言協助。
該“年檢”可以為年長者節省開銷，並幫助他們獲得更好的醫療保健服務。這是因為健康保險公司有時會更改保險方案的價格、計劃和覆蓋範圍。與此同時，年長者的醫療保健需求也會發生變化。某個醫保方案在三四年前是最好的，但放至今天則不一定。
進行“年檢”的最佳時間是開放註冊期。對於擁有 Medicare 的個人，開放註冊期為10月15日至12月7日。對於65歲以下且通過Covered California獲得保險的個人，開放註冊期從11月1日開始，持續到1月15日。
無法參加本次活動的年長者可以致電免費的NAPCA多語言年長者幫助中心獲得幫助，以在這些年度註冊期間尋找和註冊最合適的計劃。
NAPCA年長者幫助中心是專為幫助亞裔美國人和太平洋島民社區的年長者獲得醫療保健福利而設立的。自2004年以來，數以萬計的年長者通過NAPCA年長者幫助中心獲得免費的醫保註冊協助。
NAPCA通過免費的多語言熱線提供幫助。如需有關2023年Medicare和Covered California開放註冊期的更多信息，年長者和/或其看護人可致電：

The National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA) and Self-Help for the Elderly are hosting a free event to assist Asian American and Pacific Islander elders review their current health insurance coverage. This is part of NAPCA’s ongoing effort to encourage elders to do an annual “checkup” of their health insurance.
Event details:
Date: November 2, 2022 (Wednesday)
Time: 2 – 3:30 pm (Registration: 1:30 pm)
Location: Lady Shaw Senior Center
Address: 1483 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133
There will be free multilingual assistance at the event.
Having an annual “checkup” may save an elder money as well as provide them with better health care coverage. That’s because over the years, health insurance companies change their prices, plans, and coverage. At the same time, a senior’s health care needs can change as well. What was a good plan three or four years ago may no longer be the best one today.
The best time to have that “checkup” is during Open Enrollment. For those on Medicare, Open Enrollment is October 15th – December 7th. For those under 65 and covered by a plan under Covered California, Open Enrollment starts November 1st and runs through January 15th.
Those Asian American and Pacific Islander elders who are unable to attend are strongly encouraged to call the toll-free NAPCA multilingual Senior Assistance Center for free individual assistance in finding and enrolling in the most suitable plan during these Annual Enrollment Periods.
The NAPCA Senior Assistance Center was set up specifically to help Asian American and Pacific Islander elders access health care. Since 2004, 250,000 elders have called the NAPCA Senior Assistance Center and received free enrollment assistance.
NAPCA offers in-language assistance through several toll-free helplines. For more information on the 2023 Open Enrollment period for Medicare and Covered California plans, elders and/or their caregivers may call:
