When it’s time to transition to Medicare, there can be several important and sometimes confusing details to consider.
To help ensure you have the correct information when making decisions, George Fox has partnered with Hilary Starnes and Jasmyn Sprague from Providence Health Assurance to provide Medicare 101 seminars. These virtual seminars, scheduled Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 18-19, will help you understand the basics of Medicare in an easy-to-understand overview.
Seminar topics:
- What is Medicare and why it is important?
- Addressing the different parts of Medicare (the A, B, C & D’s of Medicare)
- What are the differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?
- When you should consider enrolling into Medicare, and what is the process
- What are the costs to be enrolled in Medicare?
- What to consider if you are planning to continue to work past age 65
- Learn how to avoid late enrollment penalties
- How to transition from an employer group plan to a Medicare plan
- Understand how to manage a Health Savings Account (HSA)
This seminar is purely educational, and there will be no discussion about specific carrier plan information. The only purpose of this seminar is to provide George Fox employees with valuable Medicare information. We hope this helps you and your loved ones as you plan for the eventual transition to Medicare.
You do not need to be eligible for Medicare to attend this seminar. The presentation will take approximately one hour, but we will have additional time at the end of the presentation to answer any questions that you may have.
We hope you will join if you are able! Spouses and parents are welcome to join. You can register for the 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18, seminar here and the Thursday, Sept. 19, noon meeting here.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
