Medicare 101

Significant changes are coming to Medicare in 2026! Do you know what they are? Come to a FREE Educational presentation at the Library to find out, and to get the answers you need to your other Medicare questions, as well!

This program is for anyone already on Medicare, anyone approaching Medicare age (turning 65), any spouses and/or children of those on Medicare who help make these types of decisions, and anyone under 65 who is on disability and is or will be receiving Medicare benefits as well.

Information covered will include: How can some qualify to have a lower Part B premium, or "Extra Help" paying for their prescriptions and/or Part D premiums? How and when can or should I enroll in Medicare? What are "Special Enrollment Periods" and why do some qualify to have these all year long? What does Medicare cover, what doesn’t it cover, and what might be your potential out-of-pocket exposure? What to consider when choosing Supplements, Medicare Advantage plans and Part D Prescription Coverage, as well as cost saving strategies for the years ahead.

(The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is October 15th - December 7th, each year).
