March 17, 2021 – Health & Wellness: Medicare 101 – An educational overview

The Lomita Chamber hosted an educational overview on Medicare 101 with John A. Ballard, Insurance Solutions. Both employers and individuals were encouraged to join this program.

Today, many Americans reaching age 65 do not necessarily retire from work, while some Americans have had jobs eliminated due to the Pandemic or for other reasons. What do they do about their medical coverage if they’re not at the age to qualify to receive Medicare?

Some companies are in a position to coordinate health care coverage options for Medicare-eligible employees but may not know the Medicare rules which can be challenging to assist employees.

When can an individual sign up for Medicare?
Do I have to sign up for Medicare?
With all of the advertisements on TV about Medicare, how do I know what is right for me?

The program covered Medicare 101: What are Medicare Plans, Medicare Parts, some rules, and what individuals along with employers need to know.

For more information please contact John A. Ballard, Insurance Solutions – SBHIS 310.713.9560 – https://sbhis.net/jballard; John is a local, licensed, and trained insurance agent who specializes in Medicare products.
