James Luster and Bruce Landis present a Medicare educational seminar this month. Although this seminar is open to anyone in the general public, it should be of particular interest to individuals between the ages of 63 1/2 and 70. It is designed to provide a full overview of the Medicare landscape and to help individuals better understand the Medicare options available to them, including the importance of timelines. This seminar does not discuss the particular offerings (or benefits) of any individual company.
