Free Medicare Information Sessions Offered

During the month of September, several informational sessions will be offered for those who are either new to Medicare, or would like to learn more about Medicare and their current coverage options. The sessions will provide Medicare beneficiaries with information prior to Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP). The AEP, which begins October 15 and ends December 7, allows individuals eligible for Medicare to apply, change or opt out of a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D plan.
