Medicare 101 & 102

Are you nearing 65 or have family members that you are trying to help with their retirement plans? You’ve come to the right place. Idaho Department of Insurance SHIBA will explain Medicare and all its parts, answer questions, and de-mystify this healthcare program for you.

We are trying something new with our Medicare workshop. We want to reach you where you are in the process so instead of one really long workshop, we are offering TWO – 1 hour workshops. This will allow you time to process the information and then come back with more questions. We think you will really like it.
