The Irvin L. Young Memorial Library Community Room will be the venue for monthly Medicare Scholar educational seminars presented by local business owner Jean Linos of ePlatinum Health. The Medicare Scholar program provides timely information about updates to the Medicare program, law changes, benefits, different types of insurance coverage and more. Each seminar includes a visual presentation, handouts on the topic covered are provided to all attendees and time for questions and answers at the end. The August topic is Medicare for Veterans.

The seminar will cover the two main ways veterans receive medical coverage as a result of their service to our county.  We will review which type of coverage is required to enroll in Medicare Part A & B, what type of Medicare coverage is optional and which veterans would benefit from adding Medicare to their existing veterans coverage.  Handouts of the material covered will be provided to all in attendance.
