Our Turning 65 Medicare Webinar is an educational session designed for people who are becoming eligible for Medicare. We explain how Medicare works, what your coverage options are, common mistakes to avoid, and how to make informed decisions about your healthcare coverage.

This webinar is ideal for:

• Individuals turning 65

• People retiring soon and transitioning off employer coverage

• Those already on Medicare who want a better understanding of their options

• Spouses or family members helping someone enroll in Medicare

We cover:

• Medicare Part A and Part B

• What Original Medicare covers and does not cover

• Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans

• Medicare Advantage plans

• Prescription drug coverage (Part D)

• Enrollment timelines and penalties

• Ways to help keep healthcare costs and future rate increases manageable

Medicare Part A generally covers:

• Hospital stays

• Skilled nursing facility care

• Hospice care

• Some home health services

However, Part A does not cover everything, and there can still be deductibles and out-of-pocket costs.

Medicare Part B generally covers:

• Doctor visits

• Outpatient care

• Preventive services

• Lab work and diagnostic testing

• Durable medical equipment

Part B also leaves gaps in coverage, including deductibles and coinsurance.

Original Medicare does not fully cover:

• Dental

• Vision

• Hearing aids

• Long-term custodial care

• Most prescription drugs

• All out-of-pocket medical expenses

This is why many people explore additional coverage options.

A Medicare Supplement plan (also called Medigap) helps pay many of the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not cover, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. These plans typically offer:

• Freedom to see any doctor nationwide that accepts Medicare

• No referral requirements

• Predictable coverage benefits standardized by the government

Medicare Supplement plans work alongside Original Medicare and help reduce out-of-pocket medical costs.

Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative way to receive Medicare benefits through private insurance companies and may include:

• Network restrictions

• Copays

• Prior authorizations

• Additional benefits like dental or vision

We explain the pros and cons of both during the webinar so attendees can better understand which option may fit their situation.

The webinar explains important enrollment timelines and how to avoid common penalties, including:

• Late enrollment penalties for Part B

• Part D prescription drug penalties

• Gaps in coverage during retirement transitions

Timing is extremely important when first becoming eligible for Medicare.
