50: Healthy Check Up Time on Medicare Scams and Plan Options

Seniors can find non-biased Medicare counseling and information on how to avoid Medicare scams. The State Health Insurance Program, or SHIP, is a nationwide program funded by the federal government to support Medicare benefit evaluation for seniors on an individual basis. Medicare.gov has made plan evaluation much more accessible, however, if you are still looking for consultation on a plan or wondering if the text you got is a scam, contact your local SHIP office. During open enrollment, tune into this SHIP episode for more information.

In this episode, Rhonda Wray, managing editor of Beacon Senior News, also visits with host Melissa Marts, highlighting some of the coverage in their October issue – including stories about the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival, and Colorado’s Haunted Hot Spots.
