Senior Health Insurance “Medicare Education, Choices, and Assistance”

November 1st from 1-3pm

Senior Health Insurance “Medicare Education, Choices, and Assistance”

Healthcare is one of the most important decisions we make and it’s so imperative we have a solid grasp of the options prior to making a choice. This is especially true for seniors when it comes to Medicare and the many diverse choices and options that you’re faced with in the system. Whether you’re turning 65 and faced with initial enrollment or already have a Medicare plan and are wondering if there’s something better based on your present needs, it’s important to fully understand your choices. You receive information from many sources, but in many cases that can lead to further confusion. We are offering a seminar about Medicare basics, updates, recent changes, and available assistance. The seminar will be presented by John Pitarra Jr. and James Fernstorm of Senior Health Insurance.
