Thanks everyone for the responses.....navigating Medicare is not for sissy's.....I wonder how the elderly understand what they are doing.

@Mom2Dogs If they're like my 90 year old father they do nothing. He just keeps the same plan that he's had forever. Last year I compared plans for him, and what he had was the best for him. It was the first year I'd had Medicare and realized that you should check your plan each year. I'll probably do it for him again this year.

We just came in from a Medicare seminar and I underestimate myself because I really knew a lot of what was gone over.

I just needed to be sure I was right about it all.

My husband is eligible in March and even though it's early, I wanted to make sure we went to this one since we don't know if there will be more.

The township doesn't post the monthly calendar of events until the first of the current month so there's no way of knowing what's coming for November or December.

My dh is on medicare, I am reading thru the book and in the back is the listing for different plans...listed by region. Does anyone know how to find out their 'region'? And yes I have tried looking online for the information, but I did not find any answers, thanks.

I have never had any problems with the Medicare or Social Security sites, all you have to do is "read the instructions", LOL!

BTW, these books come out every year, and filled with good information, IMO!

Does your DH know you call him "elderly"? I am on medicare, but I certainly don't think of myself as "elderly", LOL!
