The 2023 Welcome to Medicare Workshop is designed to empower, educate, and assist Medicare-eligible individuals in Northern California.

Passages – HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program) provides support for those turning 65, or younger adults who will be entitled to Medicare due to a disability. Beneficiaries have several choices around when and how to enroll. Oftentimes understanding the different parts of Medicare, when to enroll, and which type of care is not covered by Medicare can seem complicated. In this Workshop, we provide a decision support path that guides those aging into Medicare with understanding the options available to them, and where to get help with their decision-making.

Workshop Topics:

• Medicare Part A, B, and Part D
• Medicare Advantage - Part C
• Medigaps - Supplemental Insurance Plans
• Programs to reduce Medicare costs
• Avoiding Medicare insurance fraud/scams

For questions or assistance with registration, please contact Victoria Brennan, Community Relations Coordinator at 530-898-6715.
