While obtaining Medicare coverage is something most of us will experience in our lives eventually, it can be confusing to know when and how to make this transition. In addition, Medicare rules and benefits can change every year. People in all walks of life can benefit from a better understanding of Medicare. We seek to provide this understanding not only for those approaching Medicare eligibility, but also their children and potential POAs, HR employees, medical office employees, community health employees, SSDI recipients, younger retirees, financial advisors, and anyone else who needs to plan for their retirement and/or assist others in obtaining healthcare and preparing for their healthcare needs in retirement.

Seminars are compliant with Medicare rules. General information on premiums, copays, and benefits may be discussed; however, no particular plan offerings will be made. The goal is to educate so that when Medicare comes up, you know what questions to ask.

In this basic overview, we will discuss account registration, beneficiary designation, will, trust, tax information, life insurance and TOD (Transfer on Death.)
