Pre-Medicare Informational Program

Mary Loftis

Were you born in 1948 or 1949?  Are you receiving lots of mail about Medicare insurance? Or are you helping a parent or friend muddle through this paper blizzard?

If so, help is available.  Mary Loftis, UNL Extension Assistant and a Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) volunteer, will hold an informational presentation on pre-Medicare issues.

The program will be given at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 10 at the Oakland Auditorium in the Rosen Room in Oakland, NE.

Topics to be discussed include how and when to apply for Medicare.  Do you want to keep working and delay Medicare, then what?  What is meant by Part A, Part B, and Part D? What are Medicare Advantage plans? Do you need Medigap or supplemental insurance?  What do you need to consider when choosing a plan?  There will also be information on Medicare’s preventive services and MyMedicare.gov, the on-line location where your claim information is stored.

This is a free informational program and absolutely nothing will be sold.

Everyone is welcome to attend, but space is limited. In order for adequate handouts to be prepared, please RSVP by noon Thursday, October 10 to the UNL Extension Office in Tekamah at 402-374-2929.
