Security Health Plan seminars to explain Medicare plans
For Hub City Times
MARSHFILED — Medicare beneficiaries and people who will soon be eligible for Medicare are invited to learn how Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans offered by Security Health Plan of Wisconsin Inc. can help them afford and receive the best quality health care and services.
A series of free informational seminars is being held in October and November in central Wisconsin. Medicare’s annual enrollment period from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 is the only time most Medicare beneficiaries can change the way they receive their benefits.
Individuals eligible for Medicare can choose from Security Health Plan’s three Medicare Advantage HMO plans, Secure Saver Medicare Medical Savings Account, or Medicare Supplement. By attending a seminar, Medicare beneficiaries can learn about features of each plan they may want to consider based on their budget and lifestyle choices. For instance, some plans include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, worldwide coverage for accidents and emergencies, low or no monthly premiums or no copayments for lab tests, X-rays, and diabetes testing supplies.
Security Health Plan representatives at the seminars will discuss advantages of each plan type and explain when people are allowed to enroll, what is and is not covered, and what charges they will incur. Seminars are held the following days at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at all locations:
