About this event
Navigating Medicare:
What You Need to Know About Your Medicare Benefits
This presentation is geared towards helping someone understand the basics and navigate what to expect when turning 65, coming off employer coverage or joining Medicare because of a disability. Come hear about any updates around changes to enrollment and pharmacy regulations. These changes could affect those already enrolled in Medicare as well as new enrollees. Even the most seasoned recipient may not realize how these changes will affect their current coverage.
