Medicare 101

Attend a free, educational Medicare workshop where you will learn the basics of Medicare and what you need to consider before making your health care choices. The workshops will explain Original Medicare Parts A and B – what it does and does not cover, what it costs, and when and how to enroll; options beyond Original Medicare including the differences between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans; an explanation of the Part D prescription drug coverage gap (otherwise known as the “donut hole”); how to avoid Part B and Part D penalties; and what people should know if they plan to continue working and/or participating in an employer-sponsored health plan after turning 65. RSVPs are not required. Bandon Senior Center asks that all attendees be vaccinated for COVID-19 and wear a mask in accordance with current State mask guidelines.
