Notes & Requirements

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 type 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?
