What you’ll learn on this webinar.
Medicare basics (Parts A and B)
What Part A and Part B cover: hospital stays, skilled nursing, hospice, doctor visits, specialists, outpatient care and physical therapy.
How and when to enroll
Whether you’ll be enrolled automatically through Social Security or need to sign up yourself, and why coverage starts the first day of your birthday month.
Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement
The two ways to cover the gaps in Original Medicare, side by side. A Medicare Supplement gives you any doctor, predictable costs and no prior authorization for a monthly premium, but needs a separate drug plan. Many Medicare Advantage plans add extras like dental, vision and hearing.
Part D prescription drug plans
How Part D prescription drug plans work, why you need one alongside a Medicare Supplement, and how to choose a plan that covers your medications.
Still working at 65?
When it can make sense to keep your employer plan and delay Part B until you retire.
Financial exposures with Medicare and how to avoid them
Original Medicare leaves costs you pay out of pocket, like the deductible for each hospital stay, the yearly Part B deductible, and 20% coinsurance with no limit. We’ll show you where these financial exposures are and how to protect yourself from them with the right coverage.
Expand your knowledge.
Medicare comes with its own language and plenty of questions. Start with the basics here, at your own pace.
