Medicare 2026: Understanding Changes and Coverage Options
Mention the word Medicare and you’re likely to get a confused look in return.
The Father/Daughter Team of Lou and Jessica Pelletier will help you navigate the complexities of Medicare in 2026, including the Parts (A – Hospital; B – Physician and Outpatient Coverage; D – Drug Coverage) and the important new changes to Medicare drug plans rolling out in 2026.
They’ll walk you through the pros and cons of Medicare Supplement Plans and Medicare Advantage Plans, and help you understand IRMAA (Income Related Monthly Adjusted Amount), Medicare Savings Programs, and the importance of having a Medical Power of Attorney.
This workshop is perfect for seniors, their adult children, and anyone who wants to understand how to make smart, informed decisions about Medicare in 2026.
