More Medicare Basics Coming in March

As spring approaches, the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging is pleased to offer another round of Medicare Basics seminars. Karen Mayse, a certified Medicare Benefits counselor with more than 10 years of experience in explaining Medicare to Kansans, will provide more seminars in March.

Medicare is health insurance for people who are 65 or better and for people who qualify because of disabilities. The two-part Zoom Medicare Basics seminar series provides an easy-to-understand overview of Medicare, steps to enrollment and explains how Medicare works with employer’s insurance. It also provides information about Extra Help and other Medicare Savings Programs and addresses participants’ questions.

Medicare Basics Part 1 seminars will be on Wednesday, March 3rd at 5:30 pm and Wednesday, March 17th at 5:30 pm

Medicare Basics Part 2 will be on Thursday, March 4th at 5:30 pm and Thursday, March 18th at 5:30 pm
