Commercial advertisements regarding Medicare and Medicare insurance plans can be overwhelming for Connecticut seniors. Care Partners of CT has common sense educational meetings addressing the current situation which cover enrollment windows, eligibility, the different parts of Medicare, the associated costs, and the types of medigap plans in a clear and concise language. Even if you’re already on Medicare, it never hurts to get a check-up. These seminars are ideal for pre-retirees and seniors who want to learn more about their post-employer sponsored healthcare coverage options.
It’s important to keep in mind that Medicare coverages change annually, and it’s always a good idea to stay up-to-date with regular check-ups. Be sure to register for this presentation.
