About This Webinar

For almost sixty years, Medicare has provided health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older as well as other qualifying individuals. Medicare is a sprawling program, and many beneficiaries do not realize all the benefits to which they’re entitled. Still, with some knowledge and solid resources, Medicare beneficiaries can have confidence in navigating their benefits. During this session, discover the core elements of the Medicare program, major benefits available under the various “parts,” and updates for the 2023 benefit year.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe Medicare’s program structure.
  2. Discuss major benefits available to beneficiaries.
  3. Identify key dates and resources to help make the most of Medicare coverage.
