News & Events

Medicare is a complex system that can quickly swamp its beneficiaries. Chris Kuchta, a Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) coordinator, will give a lively overview of Medicare and many of its options to help clear the murky water of Parts A, B, C, and D, supplements, advantage plans, and prescription drug plans.

See how you or your loved one may lower the boom on Medicare costs by making annual drug plan comparisons, applying for federal and/or state benefits, or utilizing pharmaceutical assistance programs. Learn how to steer clear of healthcare fraud and identity-theft. This will be a class you will be glad you took!
