There’s an opportunity to get better information and understand Medicare this Tuesday.

A class will cover the parts of Medicare, hospital, medical and drug options — including original/traditional Medicare, Medicare supplements, Medicare advantage plans, Part D prescription drug coverage, preventive benefits, Medicare savings programs, preventing fraud, waste and abuse, and resources to help people make decisions.
