Four-Part Medicare Series: Medicare Options: Medigap and Medicare Advantage Plans
The Four-Part Medicare Series goes beyond the basics of Medicare and retirement. This series is designed and presented by the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging’s Senior Insurance Assistance department, the State Health Insurance Program (SHIP), to provide information to guide and support you as you make important health care decisions that affect the rest of your life. SHIP counselors do not sell or endorse any insurance products or companies.
This class explains the two types of coverage consumers can choose from for additional insurance to accompany their Medicare Parts A and B: Medigaps and Medicare Advantage Plans. Learn what they are, how they coordinate with Medicare, and what coverage they provide for those enrolled in Medicare A and B.
Attend in-person or virtually with registration.
This course assumes that the attendees already have a basic knowledge of Medicare A and B eligibility, enrollment and of benefits and coverage or that they have already attended Session 1: Medicare Eligibility and Coverage.
