NAVIGATING MEDICARE 

Navigating Medicare can be complex — especially for employees approaching Medicare eligibility or preparing for retirement. This session is designed to give HR professionals the knowledge, practical guidance, and “how-to” tools they need to confidently support employees through the Medicare transition. We’ll cover Medicare enrollment timelines, coverage options, coordination with employer-sponsored health plans, and common misconceptions. By the end of the session, HR professionals will be better equipped to provide clear, accurate, and strategic support as employees navigate this important milestone in their healthcare and retirement planning.


**This is a Virtual Event ONLY.
Meeting details will be shared after Registration**
