Medicare Supplements and Seminars: 4 Things You Must Know Now

​Medicare has been hosting seminars designed to help seniors get to know their Medicare supplements as well as the resources available for them. If you’ve decided to attend a Medicare seminar, remember these four critical points:

1. Two Types Of Medicare Seminars
   Before considering any Medicare seminar, make sure that you’re attending the right one. There are two types of seminars: educational and a sales seminar. An educational seminar covers all the topics about Medicare, such as the enrollment process, eligibility, and premiums. 
   
   Seminars also cover your options for your Medicare Supplement. You can also learn about Advantage plans which can replace your coverage. You may learn about these two options or only one depending on the agent hosting the seminar. 
   
   If you want to learn about Medigap or Advantage, attend a sales seminar. Information about these plans includes coverage, networks, and benefits. 
   
   
2. Hosted By A Company Representative
   An agent or company representative usually host a Medicare seminar. Be prepared to hear about some bias regarding their company or their products. Same goes for educational seminars. 
   
   It’s essential to get to know the company who's hosting the seminar beforehand so you can search about what the company represents. 
   
   
3. Shop Around Before Signing Up
   The first time you’re on Medicare, you’ll be in an Open Enrollment Period. This is important as this is the time when you have access to the options available. And while seminars are beneficial, don't immediately sign up. Shop around and compare plans to make sure that you are getting the best coverage as well as rate. 
   
   And if you are done comparing products, you may always reach out to that agent and sign up if you think that they are offering the best rates and coverage. 
   
   
4. Most Medicare Seminars Are Free
   Medicare seminars are free, and usually, sponsor companies provide snacks and beverages to thank you for attending. You’ll get a wealth of information about Medicare coverage, supplements, and enrollment available for free. Therefore, ask yourself if it’s worth paying for a paid seminar.
   
   Seminars are available on a first-come, first-served basis through Medicare daily. Agents are available to assist seniors in making smart decisions about their healthcare.
