Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is hosting free “Welcome to Medicare” seminars in collaboration with the State of Iowa’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). These seminars, scheduled for March 26, May 28, July 30, Sept. 24, and Nov. 26 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., aim to provide valuable information to individuals interested in understanding Medicare. Led by MRHC and SHIIP, the seminars will cover Medicare Parts A and B benefits, Prescription Drug Benefits (Part D), Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare supplement insurance, and strategies to identify and prevent Medicare fraud. Interested participants are required to register by calling 712- 655-2072 one week before the seminar. Even for those not yet eligible for Medicare, SHIIP Counselor Nancy Danner advises starting to gather information up to a year before turning 65. Danner is available for appointments every Wednesday at MRHC, offering insights into Medicare decision-making, benefits, plan options, claims, and fraud prevention.
