Getting Ready for Medicare? This is where AARP can help.

Posted on 04/10/25

Turning 65 comes with big decisions — especially when it comes to Medicare. You might be wondering:

What are my Medicare options?
How much will it cost?
How does it compare to my current employer or group health coverage?

UPCOMING EVENT
A Seamless Medicare Transition: What to Expect and How to Prepare 
Tuesday, May 20 at 7:00 PM

AARP is here to help guide you through the process! Our free webinar features representatives from the State Health Insurance Programs (SHIP) and AARP Medicare specialists who can help you understand your choices and break down costs so you can make informed decisions.

We’ll also discuss important questions like:
Which Medicare plan best fits your lifestyle?
How will your care and coverage change when you enroll?
What happens if your spouse is still covered by employer insurance?

Best of all, this webinar is available on demand! Watch it at your convenience and share it with friends and family who may also have questions.

Get the information that can help you navigate Medicare with ease. Sign up for this free event today. »
