2023 Retiree Financial Workshop Webinars

Understanding Medicare Choices

Whether you are signing up for the first time or wondering if you should make a change, Medicare choices are complicated. This class will help you make a more informed decision.


We will break down the different types of medical expenses (doctor visits, prescriptions, hospital stays, dental, etc.) and compare how traditional Medicare (A/B/D) and Medicare Advantage Plans (aka Part C) cover – or don’t cover – those expenses. We will talk about when you should sign up, when you can change from one plan to the other (and the barriers to doing that), and what additional types of insurance could fill the gaps.


Presented by: Karen Chan, Financial Educator
