PCRI recognizes that insurance coverage and the cost of medical care is a significant concern for men with prostate cancer.

We would like to remind our callers and subscribers that the "Open Enrollment" period for Medicare ends December 7.

If you are not content with your current Medicare plan (i.e., if you are restricted from certain doctors, clinics, etc.), the time to research plans and consider switching is NOW.  

Below are some key resources PCRI has found to be helpful in making a decision about Medicare plans:
