Get Free One-on-One Guidance on Medicare
Geisinger Health Plan educators offering learning sessions across the Scranton, Wilkes-Barre area
Seniors can review their Medicare coverage options and switch plans during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. Medicare recipients with standard Medicare can add additional benefits through private Medicare Advantage plans.
Recent studies show that nearly 60 percent of Medicare recipients don’t evaluate coverage options. The Geisinger Health Plan sessions are designed to help older adults examine their options and choose the best coverage.
“Understanding health plan options can provide people with better access to care, so they can live a healthier life,” said Roger van Baaren, chief sales officer for Geisinger Health Plan. “Even those who are at or nearing retirement and are still employed can greatly benefit from learning about all the options available to them.”
