Medicare Educational Workshop To Be Held In Bensalem

BENSALEM, PA — An educational workshop on Medicare will be held at the Bensalem United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 10.

Hosted by several Medicare 101 groups, the event will help educate those who are eligible for Medicare, as well as those who know someone who is eligible.

Topics that will be covered include Medicare Parts A + B (Original Medicare), Part D Prescription Drug Rx Plans (PDP), Medicare Advantage (Part C), and Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap).

A group of certified professionals will be at the event to help senior citizens get verified with doctor approval, calculate prescription costs for the year, and find out how company agents and independent brokers are compensated.

While the event is free, seating is limited and registration is required. Those who wish to attend the event can book their spots by calling Philadelphia Medicare 101 at 856-334-3579, TTY 711, or through their website.

This organization was established "to provide Free Educational Workshops for those turning 65 or who are already on Medicare," according to their website. "We work closely with volunteer advisors that have extensive experience working with insurance companies and Medicare providers."
