American Senior Benefits of Arkansas serves residents of Benton from our office at 814 N University Ave in Little Rock, AR 72205. Consultations are available in person at our Little Rock office, by phone, or by video. Benton is the Saline County seat and home to Saline Memorial Hospital.
Medicare is highly local. The Medicare Advantage plans, provider networks, and prescription drug coverage available in Benton and Saline County can differ from those in Pulaski County and other parts of Arkansas.
If you get care close to home at Saline Memorial Hospital and also see specialists in Little Rock, we help you compare options with both in mind and check provider participation for the doctors and hospitals you use. Provider participation and plan networks can change and should be verified before enrollment.

- Prescription Drug Plans (Part D): Reviewing your medication list against plan drug lists and your preferred local pharmacies.
- Turning 65 Guidance: Step-by-step help with your Initial Enrollment Period, deadlines, and possible late enrollment penalties.
