HHS Begins Campaign to Promote, Explain Medicare Services
With an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, HHS this week launched an advertising campaign "to bring Medicare participants better services," the AP/Nando Times reports. The $30 million ad campaign will include television commercials to begin running Oct. 19, and a Web site to inform seniors and people with disabilities about what treatments Medicare covers, which supplemental insurance policies Medicare beneficiaries can use or how to find a nursing home. The ad campaign also includes a 24-hour toll-free hotline, 1-800-633-4227 (AP/Nando Times, 10/17).
