• Educational Sessions Will Help Brevard County Residents Navigate and Understand Original Medicare.
BREVARD COUNTY • ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA — Every day, Health First Health Plans representatives take calls from local residents who are trying to understand Original Medicare and how it will affect them or their family members who live in Brevard and Indian River counties.
To help residents better understand Original Medicare, Health First Health Plans is hosting public forums where Health First Health Plans’ experts will answer questions and explain the alphabet soup of Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Medicare Part C, and Medicare Part D.
“As a locally headquartered health plan on Central Florida’s East Coast, we understand that we have a responsibility to the community for those who have questions about Original Medicare,” said Jamie Forrest, Director of Medicare Sales and Service at Health First Health Plans.
“We are proud to offer these educational seminars to enhance their understanding.”
These lectures are not sales pitches. No specific information on Health First Health Plans details, benefits, or programs will be discussed.
This program is intended to meet the increasing demand of the Baby Boomer generation who are aging into Medicare. The information offered in these presentations is from experts who know the area.
