Medicare 101

Medicare 101 is a practical primer for anyone navigating the complexities of Medicare, whether you're approaching 65, have been enrolled for years but feel unsure about your options, or are helping aging parents sort through their coverage. Led by Medicare Teacher and Norwood Park resident Nancy De Lira, the presentation on Thursday, October 22, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM at Jeffery Manor breaks down the differences between Medicare Parts and Plans, compares Advantage and Supplement options, explains Part D basics, and covers how the Inflation Reduction Act affects plans starting in 2023. The timing aligns with the Annual Enrollment Period, which runs October 15 through December 7 — a useful chance to get your questions answered before making decisions.
