Medicare Workshop

The first of the official baby boomers were born in 1946. That translates into this being the year thousands are turning 65 each day and becoming Medicare beneficiaries.

On Tuesday, June 14, at 2 p.m., Jill Sherman, Moore County Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (“SHIIP”) coordinator, will offer a program to those new to Medicare. She will discuss enrollment, what original Medicare covers, how to choose a Medicare supplement or Medicare advantage plan and enrolling in a Medicare drug plan.

SHIIP answers questions and counsels Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers about Medicare and long-term care insurance. SHIIP counselors offer free and unbiased counseling. The program was created in 1986 by the late North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Jim Long, and has become the link between senior citizens and information about their health insurance.

Call (910) 215-0900 to reserve a seat for the workshop.
