Navigating health coverage options as you approach age 65 can feel overwhelming, which is why we’re here to help you feel confident and informed. We offer easy-to-understand, comprehensive tools to guide you through the planning process.

Our educational session provides a 50-minute presentation addressing common questions such as: 

  • How do Parts A & B of the system work? 
  • What are the associated costs? 
  • How do I determine which plan suits me best? 
  • Is enrollment mandatory? 
  • Is my employer’s plan a better option? 
  • Can my spouse and I choose different plans? 

We also explore the types of plans available in your area and what each one includes.
