A free, open-to-the-public educational Medicare 101 event at the Florence Events Center will help explain the sometimes confusing and complicated federal health insurance program. The presentation will be given by a Florence insurance agent, Dana Dane, who has been helping people with their insurance needs since 1996. Dana will explain what people turning 65 need to do to enroll in Medicare and how they need to review their insurance plans each year after that to control their costs. The program will also cover how the different parts of Medicare work, as well as Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans and Medicare Supplement health insurance plans. Participants also will learn how Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plans work, how to get help with the cost of prescription drugs and how Medicare works with the Veterans Affairs health care benefits. Dana Dane insurance is not connected with or endorsed by the United States government or the federal Medicare program.
