Medicare Evaluation at George's

Every year Medicare plans change. And every year, Medicare gives you the option to change your plan - but only for a short time. As a subscriber, you should take the time to reevaluate the cost of your plan, your copay, and what fits your medication needs best.

Open enrollment started October 15 and runs through December 15. This year before you register, take advantage of our free Medicare evaluation. 

George's Pharmacy will help you find the plan that best suits your needs. Call us at 417.889.7898 today to schedule your evaluation, and receive:
  • Face-to-face, personalized Medicare counseling
  • Plan recommendations for your unique healthcare needs
  • Registration support

    Winter Health Tips

    To ward off dry winter skin, apply lotion twice daily - once after showering and once before bed.

    Take a multi-vitamin daily. Not sure what supplements are best for you? Ask your pharmacist.
    Dress in warm layers and stay dry during winter. Excess perspiration will increase heat loss, so remove extra layers when you get too warm. 
    Order your prescription refills online.
