Summation and Photos from Medicare 101 Seminar on September 29

Key options and benefits of Medicare were presented at the River Club.  The event, sponsored by the Community Association, is the kick-off to the “Knock Your Socks Off” 2025-26 season.

The “Knock Your Socks Off” season began with a very well-received talk on Medicare.  Residents were treated to an outstanding review of current Medicare coverages, options, and costs by Venetian resident Gayle Cain.

Gayle covered basic and original coverage, prescription coverage, provider networks, benefits like dental and vision, out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles, and coverage out of state.  Original Medicare Part A covers hospital stays, nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health care.  Original Part B is the medical coverage for doctor’s services, outpatient medical and surgical services, clinical lab tests, medical equipment, and preventative services.   

Gayle emphasized the need to ask questions in order to match the right plan to your needs and goals.  Much attention was focused on Medicare Advantage Plans and Supplemental coverage.  Resident participation was high as question after question was handled expertly with insight and recommendations.  

Thank you, Gayle, from the Community Association!!
