Program Description

Event Details

It's time again for Medicare enrollment! Ahead of the October-December enrollment period, we're partnering with New York StateWide Senior Action Council and  Albany County Department for Aging's HIICAP Division (Health Insurance Information and Counseling Program) to offer you unbiased information about Medicare (including Part D).  A trained HIICAP counselor will cover the following topics: 

  • Medicare Parts (A,B,C,D)
  • How to enroll in Medicare
  • Enrollment Periods
  • Ways to access your Medicare Benefits (Medicare Advantage/Medigap)
  • Who can delay Medicare without a penalty
  • Assistance programs available
  • Questions about Medicare in general

HIICAP also works with people individually.  Join us and get more informed about this very important financial/medical decision!

Please note: A repeat session will take on Zoom on Tuesday, September 19 @ Noon.  Both the in-person and Zoom sessions require registration.  Feel free to sign up for both, if you'd like!

Presenter: Candy Rivera Whitehead is a Certified Health Insurance Counselor with NewYork StateWide Senior Action Council, which serves the HIICAP Department of Albany County Department for Aging and New York State SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol)
