Medicare: An article in the Nov. 29 Health section on Medicare Advantage plans said that enrollees who wanted to shift back to original Medicare during open enrollment (Jan. 1 to Feb. 14) would not be guaranteed enrollment in a Medicare Part D plan, which provides drug benefits. Enrollees who drop a Medicare Advantage plan can enroll in original Medicare with a Part D plan during open enrollment. The article also said that the Health Assistance Partnership works with state programs on Medicare education. That group no longer performs this duty. Instead, individuals can directly contact their State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) office.

UCLA football: In his column in the Nov. 27 Sports section, T.J. Simers wrote that UCLA’s football team would draw a break next season, replacing Oregon and Oregon State on the schedule with Utah and Colorado. In fact, the Bruins are scheduled to play Oregon State on Sept. 24 at Corvallis.
Farm communities: In an article in the Nov. 29 Section A on new home developments built around organic farms, the first name of Daron Joffe, who has helped design farm developments, was incorrectly given as Devon.
