Medicare Info Session Explains Coverage Options

A recent Medicare information session offered clear guidance for individuals seeking to understand the differences between Medicare and Medicare Advantage, along with related costs and prescription plan options under Part D. The session also covered how to interpret information on a Medicare ID card, aiming to help participants make informed choices about their healthcare coverage.

For those who could not attend live, a replay of the session is available online at https://youtu.be/tru2s-KfeIc. Viewers are encouraged to follow along using the materials for 2026 Medicare plans and a list of local SHIP sites provided with the recording.

State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs) offer free, confidential counseling to individuals eligible for Medicare, as well as their families and caregivers. These programs provide unbiased assistance at no cost, helping participants navigate healthcare options and find the coverage that best meets their needs.

The session and accompanying resources underscore the importance of accessible, accurate information in helping Medicare recipients make confident, well-informed decisions about their healthcare.
