Learn the ABCs of Medicare at Free Introductory Class on Sept. 4

Medicare doesn’t need to be confusing. Attend this free introductory class to Medicare at the Ruby M. Sisson Memorial Library on Wednesday, September 4 at 1:00pm. This class is open to everyone whether currently enrolled in Medicare or planning to enroll soon.

A certified Medicare counselor from San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging (SJBAAA) will present Medicare basics such as:

  • Medicare eligibility and when to enroll
  • Definitions and explanations of Parts A, B, C, D and Medigap plans
  • Deadlines, open enrollment dates, and avoiding penalties
  • How Medicare works with other health insurance plans

Medicare counselors from SJBAAA are certified by the Colorado State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and are NOT associated with any health insurance company.
