Medicare Made Easy

Confusion to clarity in 60 minutes

Learn how to review your coverage and make any changes necessary to be assured your Medicare health plan and prescription drug coverage meet your needs for the following year.

This year, Medicare's annual Open Enrollment period is October 15 through December 7.

Did you know that every year during Medicare Annual Open Enrollment you should review your current Medicare coverage to make sure your plan is still meeting your needs? Are you confused about what you should do during Annual Open Enrollment? Medicare health and drug plan companies can make changes to your plan each year—things like cost, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in their networks. Sometimes these changes can have a negative affect on your coverage. Learn how to review your coverage and make any changes necessary to be assured your Medicare health plan and prescription drug coverage meet your needs for the following year.

Join us for an informative and informal presentation where we will chat about Medicare. Let the NORWESCAP SHIP Counselors take you from confusion to clarity in 60 minutes. The presentation will give you a basic overview of Medicare. It will also inform you as to what changes can be made during Annual Open Enrollment, how to make those changes, and provide various informational resources to help you with your decision.
