Medicare Open Enrollment is going virtual! Baby boomers who want to learn about Medicare options and are hesitant to have in-person appointments because of COVID-19, can attend the Central Ohio Primary Care (COPC) webinar from the comfort of their own home. The Virtual Medicare Shop & Compare Expo, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24, is a great opportunity for seniors to learn more about the differences in Medicare and Medicare Advantage and the many plan options available. To register: COPCSeniorCareAdvantage.com.
The webinar will include several sessions, including a physician panel entitled: “The Future of Medicare in a Changing World”; Medicare 101 sessions; insurance company and broker presentations; and inspirational comments from the Columbus 60 Strong Ambassadors, who have overcome health obstacles and other challenges and will offer encouraging words about living life to its fullest.
Don’t worry if you miss the webinar. From now until December 7 you can still log on by going to COPCSeniorCareAdvantage.com to listen to the online Medicare information program.
Central Ohio Primary Care is hosting the event and will have representatives available to answer questions about their COPC Senior Care Advantage program, which expands the cooperation and coordination between COPC Physicians and the health insurance plans providing coverage for their senior patients. COPC Senior Care Advantage is not a new Medicare Advantage plan — rather it is a new approach to care delivery. Under this program, patients have the flexibility to choose a health plan from one of the participating insurance companies and still have access to the quality care provided by their physicians at COPC. COPC Senior Care Advantage provides access to wellness and health education services and care coordination resources when needed.
