IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- The Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress is a holding free seminar next month to help people new to Medicare understand their benefits and choices.
Sherry Whitman is UPCAP’s regional Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program coordinator. She says Medicare has become much more complicated over the past few years, and most people have a difficult time understanding their options. Whitman says the seminar is targeted toward people who will be eligible for Medicare within the next six months.
The first session will be held March 28 at 2 p.m. at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church gathering room in Iron Mountain. To register call 800-803-7174, or dial 211 and say you want to register for the Welcome to Medicare event in Iron Mountain on March 28.
