Medicare Workshops: The Best Way to Prepare for Medicare
August 10, 2023 | Marcia Pruitt
When it’s time to prepare for Medicare, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. You’re embarking on new territory; your mailbox is filled with flyers and postcards, and you really start to notice the inundating amount of Medicare commercials on the TV. It may seem that all of your friends have a different plan, and they probably either love it and tell you it’s the right one for you or they’ve complained about it again and again, but for some reason, they don’t seem to change?
Enter: The Medicare Workshop
So what’s the easiest way to take in all of this information and make sure you are making the right decisions for your needs? A Medicare 101 in-person workshop or online webinar is an ideal place to start.
In a Medicare 101 informational meeting you will learn the basics of the different types of Medicare, including original Medicare , including Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). From there, we’ll explore the different options for supplementing your original Medicare coverage to ensure you are protected from the health coverage gaps and financial risks of original Medicare only.
You will find out important details on Medicare Part D (prescription drug plans) as well as the various supplemental types such as Medicare supplements (Medigap policy) and Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C or MA’s/ MAPD’s). We’ll explain how these various parts of Medicare work together to provide essential healthcare services.
In addition to breaking down the parts of Medicare and the types of coverage available, we will address associated costs, such as premiums, deductibles and copays. We’ll highlight important timelines, so you can best prepare for Medicare and retirement. We’ll cover Medicare penalties and how to avoid them. You will find out how and when you can make changes to your Medicare coverage.
