Caroline Irwin from Coveside Senior Solutions will be discussing the latest in Medicare news at Home Instead’s March Educational Series at the Baxter Memorial Library in Gorham on Thursday, March 29, 2012, from 5-6pm.

Some of Caroline’s discussion points:

  • Do you understand your current Medicare coverage?
  • Are you confused by your Medicare choices?
  • Do you wonder which plan is right for you:  Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage?
  • Do you review your Medicare coverage annually?
  • Do you qualify for extra help with your prescription drug costs?
  • Are you concerned about healthcare when you travel or winter elsewhere?

Many Maine Medicare beneficiaries find their healthcare coverage options confusing as well as overwhelming. This Medicare and YOU 2012 seminar will take the confusion out of Medicare by discussing the four components of Medicare and how they work (Parts A, B, C, and D), the types of cost share options available (Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage, and Prescription Drug Coverage), what to look for when shopping for a plan, and the qualifications for extra help with prescription drug costs.

Marcie Yager of Home Instead Senior Care will be hosting the free event at the library. Please RSVP to her at myager@homeinsteadmaine.com or 839-0441 to reserve your seat.
