HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program) will sponsor a free seminar for people interested in better understanding Medicare. The New to Medicare presentation will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015, at the Sansum Clinic, located at 215 Pesetas Lane in Santa Barbara.
“HICAP is offering this presentation to help new beneficiaries and their caregivers better understand this comprehensive health care program,” said James Talbott, president of the board of directors for the Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens.
Even those who currently have Medicare coverage could benefit from this detailed overview. Topics will include a comprehensive introduction to Medicare including what Medicare covers, supplemental insurance, part D prescription coverage, Medicare and employer group health plans and retiree health plan considerations.
HICAP is pleased to partner with the Sansum Clinic in presenting this important information to the community.
HICAP offers free and unbiased counseling and information on Medicare issues. It does not sell, recommend or endorse any insurance product, agent, insurance company or health plan.
The presentation is a service of the Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens, HICAP with financial assistance, in whole or in part, through a grant from the Center for Medicare and Medical services, the federal Medicare agency.
