If you are about to turn 65 years old, first things first, Happy Almost Birthday. On a more serious note, however, that magical number that screams “retirement” to some and “Social Security” to others also marks a milestone in the realm of health care coming your way. In a word: Medicare.
Those who are turning 65 soon and find themselves in search of questions about Medicare and what it all means will want to avail themselves of a free offer from the Region IV Area Agency on Aging. They are teaming up with the Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program — simply called MMAP in the parlance of practitioners — to offer a New-To-Medicare Class coming on Thursday, June 12th.
Here are a few of the things you will learn about in this valuable, free, class:
- The difference between original Medicare and Advantage Plans…
- Whether or note you qualify for valuable premium savings programs…
- The best time to enroll in Medicare Healthcare Plans…
- When you can make changes to your coverage…
- How to protect yourself against Medicare fraud…
This free class is scheduled to meet at the Area Agency on Aging located at 2900 Lakeview Avenue in St. Joseph, from 2:00 to 4:00pm on Thursday, June 12th.
There is no cost for the free class, however for more information and/or to register for the class, you can pick up the phone and call Mistelle at (269) 408-4354 from the Area Agency on Aging.
