Course Details

As we age, it becomes increasingly important that we plan for and obtain coverage to cover the costs of healthcare. The most important forms of insurance in that regard are Medicare coverage; Long-term care funding in the event of the need for care over an extended period of time; and life insurance either to protect loved ones or to pass on a “legacy” in a tax-advantaged manner. This is a two-part course which will address each of these issues. Topics will include:

• Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, and D (Prescription Drug Plans), as well as the various types of supplementary products available, e.g., Medicare Supplements, Advantage Plans, and Savings Accounts;

• Ways in which Medicare coverage works vis-a-vis other types of coverage such as Retiree Health Plans;

• Long-term care planning and funding options; discussion will also address those who have previously purchased Long Term Care policies; and

• Different types of life insurance and associated features of such policies.
