The Road to Medicare

Choosing a Medicare Plan is an important, but often overwhelming, decision.
This program provides an overview of Medicare.  It is for those who are close to turning 65; considering retirement; have basic questions about Medicare; or want to sort out Medicare’s relationship with their employer’s group health plan.

The presenter is a trained counselor through the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP), a free unbiased service administered through the NC Department of Insurance.
