What Participants Can Expect
During each workshop, ADRC Benefits Assistance staff will guide attendees through the Medicare.gov Plan Finder, explain how premiums, deductibles, and co‑pays may change from year to year, and help compare plan features side‑by‑side. The assistance is completely free, and participants are encouraged to bring a list of current prescriptions and any questions about coverage.
Additional Resources
Even if you cannot attend a workshop, you can use the Medicare.gov Plan Finder on your own to compare plans before or after the sessions. For further information, contact the ADRC main line at 262‑605‑6646 or reach out to Alejandra Kruse, Diverse Communities Outreach Specialist, at [email protected] or 262‑605‑6641. More details are available on the ADRC of Kenosha County website.
Why This Matters
Medicare enrollment decisions affect out‑of‑pocket costs for seniors and their families. By offering free, expert guidance, the ADRC helps ensure that Kenosha County’s older adults and caregivers can secure the most affordable and comprehensive coverage for the coming year, supporting both financial stability and health security.
