The North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging (NC-FH AAA) announced today that the Medicare Basics, in-person seminar is slated for 10:30 am, Friday, August 9, at the McKenzie Center #1, part of the Salina Public Library – 308 W. Elm Street, Salina, KS, 67401.
Medicare Basics will be presented by SHICK counselor Theresa Crubel. Theresa is a former nurse and has excelled in her role as our full-time SHICK counselor. She meets each client right where they are, provides education and advocacy related to Medicare information and supports the client until they have a clear understanding of the Medicare maze as they approach age 65 and or enter Medicare coverage for other reasons.
Medicare Basics seminars provide objective and trustworthy information on the “in’s and out’s” of Medicare. The seminars are especially geared to those close to 65 years of age who are preparing to enroll in Medicare and are intended to provide clarity, information and education from an unbiased and trustworthy source through a trained SHICK counselor.
Though there are enrollment timelines for Medicare, there are no timelines for taking this class. Being informed and taking a proactive approach with your healthcare is important and this educational seminar will help you do just that.
