Residents who are new to Medicare—or simply want a better understanding of their coverage options—have an opportunity to learn more at an upcoming free seminar in Mount Pleasant.
Henry County Health Center’s SHIIP counselors will host a “Welcome to Medicare” seminar on Tuesday, June 16, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Soldiers Room at Henry County Health Center. Attendees should enter through the north entrance off Warren Street, marked Physical Therapy.
The seminar is designed for individuals who will soon become eligible for Medicare, current Medicare beneficiaries seeking additional information, or family members who help loved ones navigate Medicare coverage.
According to lead SHIIP counselor Sally Fager, understanding Medicare’s benefits and options can help ensure eligible individuals receive the healthcare coverage available to them.
Topics will include Medicare Part A and Part B benefits, prescription drug coverage through Part D, Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicare supplement insurance options.
The seminar is free, but advance registration is required by noon on June 8. To register, call 319-385-6774, leave your name and phone number, and indicate that you would like to sign up for the Welcome to Medicare seminar.
