Explore Coverage Options at Free "Medicare Shop & Compare"

AUSTIN, TX, Oct. 23, 2019 – Medicare beneficiaries who want help as they navigate through the complexities of Medicare enrollment are encouraged to attend complimentary “Medicare Shop & Compare” events: Saturday, November 2, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wyndham Conference Center (3401 South I-35, Austin), and Saturday, November 9, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Baca Center in Round Rock (301 W Bagdad Ave #2, Round Rock). The events are a great opportunity to learn more about Medicare Advantage plan options as well as other options for Medicare coverage.

The events will include light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the “Austin 60 Strong Ambassadors,” a group of inspirational sixty somethings who will be featured in an exclusive 2020 calendar highlighting Austin area landmarks, entertainment and activities. The 60 Strong Ambassadors are inspirational people in their 60s who practice healthy lifestyles and give back to the community in a variety of ways. The calendar also includes health tips and important Medicare enrollment dates.

Connected Senior Care Advantage, a collaboration between Austin Regional Clinic (ARC), Premier Family Physicians (Premier) and Capital Medical Clinic (Capital), is hosting the event and will have representatives available to answer questions about the Medicare Advantage plans they partner with and the Connected Senior Care Advantage program. CSCA is not a new Medicare Advantage plan. Rather it is a new approach to care delivery built on the premise that through stronger connections between patients, physicians and health plans, health care can be transformed. CSCA is offered exclusively to patients under the care of ARC, Premier, and Capital primary care physicians. You can sign up for the expo on the events page at connectedseniorcareadvantage.com.

Between October 15 and December 7, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to explore and choose their 2020 Medicare coverage. The choices include traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. The Medicare Advantage plans, which generally provide additional benefits such as prescription drug coverage, are offered by health insurance companies that contract with Medicare.
