Mission Statement
Our organization helps elderly and disabled people to get assistance they need to benefit from Medicare and other prescription drug coverage. AMOS and organizations and volunteers nationwide have come together in the MedicareRx Volunteer Initiative to help people with Medicare understand their options and make an informed, meaningful decision about their prescription drug plan options. The MedicareRx Volunteer Initiative is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration on Aging (AoA). AMOS is a local program and is a part of the Knoxville-Knox County CAC Office on Aging.
Description
Our organization is providing free, one-on-one assistance to people with Medicare and their families via telephone and face-to-face advising sessions, public education presentations and other programs. Through the CMS MedicareRx Volunteer Initiative, volunteers at our organization will be given the opportunity to work directly with people with Medicare to help them understand their prescription drug plan options and join a plan that will best suit their prescription drug needs if they choose.
