Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging - Health Insurance Counseling
To enable people to get the help they need, Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging now offers Health Insurance Counseling Phone Appointments, where a person can book an appointment with a Counselor and receive the Medicare counseling the same as they would receive from during an in-person appointment. Visit www.metroaging.org/HIC to book an appointment or to contact someone with any questions you might have.
Because The Lodge is unable to host in person appointments at this time, this could be a great resource for you! If I can assist you in this process please don't hesitate to contact Joan at 952.227.7760.Preventing Medicare Fraud and Avoiding Scams
Every year, Medicare loses an estimated $60 billion because of professional scams. Fraud impacts everyone, taking dollars that could be used for other valuable programs.
