Medicare and You

Take a deep dive into traditional and replacement Medicare, as well as how to handle needs beyond what Medicare will cover. We’ll examine real examples of how the program works, use of Medicare for specific needs, and coverage of costs when Medicare shuts off. If you are now on Medicare, are approaching Medicare eligibility, or considering Medicare benefits for a loved one, this is a course for you. It will give you a firm grasp of how to maximize your benefits, what types of plans are available, and as a bonus, how to keep marketers from calling you so much!

Learning Objectives
Understanding Medicare's various parts, determine what type of secondary Medicare coverage is appropriate for your (or your loved one's) needs, awareness of the shortcomings of Medicare and options to provide additional coverage.

Course Details 
During the course we will cover: Medicare eligibility and enrollment, in depth explanation of Parts A, B, C and D as well as Medicare supplement plans, the differences in co-insurance options between Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Supplement, as well as where Medicare reduces or denies coverage such as dental, vision, health, home health and long term care.
