Learn about Medicare
Will you soon be 65? Come learn how Medicare works. You will be informed of all the factors that you should consider when making your choices.
Are you already in Medicare but still have questions about your coverage options? There are Medicare counselors trained to help you understand your choices and options. Attend a presentation designed to provide you with an understanding of Medicare and the choices available to you.
Having trouble paying your Medicare premium or related medical expenses? Find out if you may qualify for Federal assistance with your medical expenses.
The presentation is Oct. 29, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Medicare appointments are available with Janet Kiffney from the Albany County Health Insurance Counseling Program. She will be in the Senior Office late October into November. If you would like to schedule an informative one-on-one appointment between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., please call the senior office.
