Medicare 101

Medicare Teacher and Norwood Park resident Nancy De Lira leads a practical presentation at the Roden library on Tuesday evening, December 1, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, aimed at anyone approaching 65, already on Medicare but unclear on their options, or helping aging parents navigate the system. The session covers the difference between Medicare parts and plans, how to compare Advantage and Supplement options, the basics of Part D prescription drug coverage, and how the Inflation Reduction Act will affect plans starting in 2023. The timing coincides with the Annual Enrollment Period, which runs through December 7, making this a useful stop for anyone weighing their choices. Advance registration is not mentioned; accessibility requests must be made 14 business days before the event.
