“Medicare Made Clear” Seminar
November 17  •  10 AM – 11 AM
Many of us have heard of Medicare. We or our parents may have already enrolled in Medicare. But how many of us really know about Medicare and the penalty if you do not enroll in time? What are the benefits and who is eligible to apply? What are the potential penalties? Oct 15 – Dec 7 is the Annual Enrollment Period for switching to a Medicare plan. Come and bring your questions to the Cafeteria for the Medicare Made Clear Seminar presented by Medicare Solutions Specialist.
Disclaimer: Posting of the seminar is merely for informational purposes as the seminar is independently sponsored/offered. In no way should the seminar be construed as an event promoted by CHS.
