Q&A with Dianne Walkup

If you are confused about Medicare options, you are not alone! Medicare's Open Enrollment starts October 15 and ends December 7th! Whether you are signing up for the first time, wanting to change your plan or are helping others clarify their options, this webinar is for you! Our speaker, Dianne Walkup RDMD, HHP, CMBCS, will explain Medicare, how it works, supplemental insurance options and how to get the most benefits without breaking the bank. It comes as a surprise to many that Medicare is not completely "free." Dianne has spent years helping clients get reimbursed for uncovered medical expenses and will share tips on what you need to know to avoid those costs in the first place. She knows the issues with constantly evolving Medicare rules and eligibility and will identify helpful resources, web links and tools to help you learn what will meet your individual needs and make sense of the multitude of options!
