Planning for Medicare Workshop
On Saturday, April 19, from 12-1pm, at the West Tisbury Library, Senior Plan Consultant Luisa Lewis will lead a workshop, “Planning for Medicare – Countdown to 65.” Please sign up by emailing wt_mail@clamsnet.org. Free and open to the public.
Planning for Medicare-Countdown to 65 is a comprehensive worksite seminar that helps people approaching Medicare eligibility understand their health insurance options outside of their employer-sponsored coverage, whether they are planning to retire or not. Many employees need help understanding the coverage options available to them when they approach Medicare eligibility. This is especially true for those that plan to retire and are leaving their employer-sponsored coverage. For these employees, retirement may be the first time they don’t have a Human Resources representative helping to explain their health plan. The Planning for Medicare— Countdown to 65 seminar helps your employees make an informed decision about their individual health coverage options.
The topics can be tailored to your group’s needs, but typically include:
- Medicare and Medicare Parts A and B
- Medicare enrollment timeline
- Medigap plans that help supplement Medicare coverage
- Medicare Advantage plans, such as HMOs and PPOs
- Medicare Part D prescription drug plans
- Plans and programs available to early retirees, such as COBRA
