Free Medicare Seminars
(scroll down to find upcoming schedule and access to supplemental materials)
Medicare is an essential program that helps 85 percent of our members receive the services they need to remain safe, healthy and comfortable. Now more than ever, Medicare allows eligible consumers many options regarding how they receive their Medicare benefits and who delivers their care. This complexity can lead to confusion, but Direction Home Akron Canton is here to help. We make it our goal to offer free, unbiased information to Medicare beneficiaries throughout our four-county region (Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne counties) during Medicare Open Enrollment (this has concluded until Fall 2023). Topics discussed include:
- Enrollment process
- Options for coverage
- Changes in coverage
- How to select coverage
- How to use the Medicare website
- Medicare protections
- Future outlook and legislative debates
