Free Medicare Seminars
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 region during Medicare Open Enrollment (October 15 - December 7). 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
Because your health and safety are our top priority, our 2020 Medicare sessions were held virtually using Zoom.
All of our virtual Medicare Made Simple seminars were live and included a Q&A session. Supplemental materials including side-by-side Advantage Plan comparison charts, Part D, Medigap information, and more, were emailed to everyone who registered; hard copies were mailed upon request.
