Have you, in your work with clients, come up against Medicare issues – what it covers and what it does not? Have clients asked you to assist them with making choices about initial enrollment into Medicare and/or with reassessing their previous choices during Open Enrollment season? The options are plentiful (20-40 choices!) but comparing one to another is challenging. If you feel that this is a topic you may want to learn more about, please join us.

During this teleconference session Dianne addressed the following topics:
  • What traditional Medicare covers and does not
  • What the differences are between Medicare Part A, B, C, D and Medicare supplemental/Medigap insurance plans and prescription drug coverage
  • How to help clients superimpose their preferences for healthcare, and how they plan to use the healthcare system, on the choices available to them
  • Considerations regarding if clients remain employed after age 65, their parents, their spouse and their dependent children
