As individuals approach the age of 65 and sign up for Medicare, they are often surprised and overwhelmed by the 20-40 choices available to them. Comparing one to another is a challenge.
The objectives for the teleconference session on "Medicare Choices" are:
- Gain a deeper understanding of how the options in Medicare evolved
- Understand what traditional Medicare covers and does not cover
- Learn the differences between Medicare Part A, B, C, D and Medicare supplemental/medigap insurance plans
- Identify preferences
- Make decisions if you remain employed after age 65
- Review your choices on an annual basis
