Geezer Forum looks at Medicare enrollment

| November 9, 2021 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — Today's Geezer Forum will be all about Medicare enrollment.

The forum will be held at Columbia Bank’s Community Room, 2:30-4 p.m. Featured speaker will be Noreen Brisson, volunteer services coordinator for SHIBA (Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisors). Because of an insurance office policy about COVID, she will be joining the forum via Zoom.

SHIBA is part of the Idaho Department of Insurance office. Every state has a similar agency to help older adults navigate the Medicare Maze. But SHIBA does not sell Medicare insurance! They respond to our questions and offer suggestions based on our expressed needs.

In addition to information on Medicare enrollment and the various plans available, Brisson will also address what to look out for in regards to those ads.
