About This Office
Medicare Rights Center (MRC) is the largest independent source of health care information and assistance in the United States for people with Medicare. Founded in 1989, MRC helps older adults and people with disabilities get good, affordable health care. Our enrollment projects help people with limited incomes access benefits that can help pay their Medicare premiums, deductibles and copays. MRC provides telephone hotline services to individuals who need answers to Medicare questions or help securing coverage and getting the health care they need. Our education department works to teach people with Medicare and those who counsel them--health care providers, social service workers, family members, and others--about Medicare benefits and rights. Our MRC in Westchester program trains volunteers to educate Westchester County (NY) residents about Medicare issues. Through public policy efforts, MRC brings the consumer voice to the national debate on Medicare reform. And through communications efforts, MRC works closely with local and national media outlets to ensure public awareness and understanding of Medicare issues.
