Medicare provides essential healthcare coverage for millions of Americans, offering access to necessary medical services and prescription drugs. However, navigating the complexities of Medicare can be daunting, often requiring assistance to understand eligibility criteria, coverage options, and enrollment processes effectively. Accessible support services can greatly alleviate the burden, ensuring individuals can seamlessly connect to their entitled Medicare benefits and receive the care they need without unnecessary confusion or delay.

The State of Ohio has a Senior Health Insurance Information Program that offers a one hour monthly “Welcome to Medicare” webinar, providing information on topics related to Medicare enrollment, eligibility, and choices for people turning age 65.

At the time of this posting, the next available webinar will be held Monday March 10th from 6 to 7 PM, but as noted, these webinars are held monthly. The program has an online registration portal to register for any month. Interested parties can see the dates and times of upcoming “Welcome to Medicare” webinars, and receive login credentials.

You can find more Medicare resources by selecting the “Medicaid & Medicare” insurance tab on our Social Service “Utilization Library” page.
