Will you be 65 in the next year or two? Are you receiving lots of mail about Medicare insurance? If so, help is available. Jeanne Murray, UNL Extension Educator and a Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) volunteer, will have an informational presentation on pre-Medicare issues.

The program will be Wednesday, February 26 at 6:30 pm in the Board Room at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center, 4502 Ave I, in Scottsbluff. Enter the building from the side door to the left of the main front doors on the east side of the Center. Do not go to the back of the building!

Topics to be discussed include how and when to apply for Medicare. Do you want to keep working and delay Medicare, then what? What is meant by Part A, Part B, and Part D? What are Medicare Advantage plans? What is Medigap or supplemental insurance? What do I need to consider when choosing a plan? There will also be information on Medicare’s preventive services and MyMedicare.gov, the place where your claim information is stored.

For adequate handouts, please RSVP by Tuesday, February 25, to the Scotts Bluff Co. Extension office, 632-1480. Class size is limited.
