In this webinar, Medicare expert Melinda Caughill educated both financial advisors and their clients on the significant changes to Medicare taking effect in 2025, just in time for the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period. This session provided critical insights into how these changes will impact Medicare beneficiaries and the strategies you need to know to optimize your healthcare coverage. Understanding these upcoming modifications will help you make informed decisions during the Medicare Open Enrollment, which runs from October 15 to December 7 each year. Learn how to navigate the new $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket prescription costs, the introduction of mid-year notifications for Medicare Advantage policyholders, and the new regulations for agents and brokers.

My understanding of Medicare was expanded. In particular the need to review Medicare arrangements annually and the effect of the IRA on Part D plans. The goals of the course were achieved.

The Medigap coverages and the new costs associated with the aging pool of participants. Also the new costs associated with the new laws for 2025 - very interesting to say the least.
- William B.
The formulaic change going into effect today. Reminder about the differences in MediGap vs Advantage. The way drug plans are closing to get around the government limitation on raising premiums. The commissions being paid for MediGap vs Advantage to the agents.
