While this will provide some temporary relief, the LOA, Area Agency on Aging has some concerns.

Shannon Abed with the LOA, Area Agency on Aging, says the best way to pick a card is by weighing the options on Medicare's website -- but he's concerned that not all seniors will be able to do that.

And once you pick a card you're stuck with it -- you can only change cards next year.
That's why some pharmacist like Tim Lucas are trying to make the process easier.

But one thing Lucas and Abell are both concerned about scam artists or fraudulent cards.
Keep in mind, the enrollment fee for the Medicare endorsed cards is no more than 30 dollars. Medicare will NOT call your home or show up at your door. And you can only pay for the cards by check, no credit cards.
