Class on Medicare help
Thursday, May 21, 2009 | No comments posted.
What you don't know about Medicare health insurance could hurt you financially. For example, missing important enrollment deadlines can cause Medicare to cost more for life. And some people don't understand what personal health insurance covers.
The state of Oregon and Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance programs are sponsoring a class to help people learn about Medicare and how to get free, personalized help with Medicare.
The free, two-hour class titled "Medicare ABC and Ds" will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 28, at Southwestern Oregon Community College, Lakeview Room E and F, Empire Hall, 1988 Newmark Ave. in Coos Bay. Register by calling 888-7395.
In addition to learning about Medicare benefits, people can learn about the Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance program. SHIBA is sponsored by Medicare and the state of Oregon and offers free Medicare counseling. It also produces "user friendly" materials that explain health plan and drug coverage choices.
This class is for anyone who is interested in learning more about Medicare. That includes people who are already enrolled but need to be aware of changes.
For people unable to attend the class, but who would like help with Medicare, call SHIBA at (800) 722-4134 or go to http://www.oregonshiba.org.
