On Nov. 16, 2017 the District Office sponsored presentations on Medicare by Anthem and Kaiser representatives at the Performing Arts Center at Oxnard College. They included basics on what Medicare covers, how to enroll in Medicare, Medicare premium costs, and how Medicare coordinates with Anthem Blue Cross or Kaiser, depending on which coverage you have. The District Office Presentation 2017_retiree_benefits_powerpoint explains the coverage that each retiree has depending on their hire and retirement date. The main presentations regarding Medicare are covered in the Kaiser Medicare Presentation kaiser_medicare_101 and the Anthem Medicare Presentation anthem_medicare_coordination_presentation.
Be sure to read the “Welcome” post in this blog to get a primer on how Medicare may be of value to you as a retiree.
