Navigating Medicare

Join us with Lifestream Services for an information-based seminar to learn the ins-and-outs of the Medicare system, from learning how to apply and so on!

Medicare is the federal government program that provides health care coverage, or health insurance. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency that runs Medicare. The program is funded in part by Social Security and Medicare taxes you pay on your income, in part through premiums that people with Medicare pay, and in part by the federal budget. Some people are eligible for Medicare due to their age, while others are eligible due to having a disability or chronic condition. If you are new to Medicare, there can be a lot to learn around your enrollment and coverage choices.
