Community meetings designed to help baby boomers and other Medicare
beneficiaries understand the basics of Medicare and make informed health
care decisions
UnitedHealthcare will host a series of community meetings across New
Hampshire to help baby boomers and other Medicare beneficiaries better
understand the Medicare program so they can make confident health care
choices.
Every day for the next decade, 10,000 boomers will turn 65 and become
eligible for Medicare, bringing tremendous growth to the country's
largest health insurance program. In New Hampshire, 231,000 baby boomers
will turn 65 this year. The UnitedHealthcare community meetings will
help these newly eligible individuals and other Medicare beneficiaries
learn about their Medicare options.
"Our goal is to help people enrolling in Medicare for the first time or
making changes to their coverage feel more comfortable and secure in the
process," said Steve King, regional vice president of UnitedHealthcare
Medicare & Retirement in New Hampshire. "By holding meetings in
convenient neighborhood locations across New Hampshire, we hope to make
it easier for people to get the information they need to make an
informed decision regarding their health care coverage."
At the meetings, local licensed sales agents who understand the
community and the needs of local beneficiaries will present information
about the basics of Medicare, including the different parts of the
program, eligibility requirements and enrollment windows. An overview of
UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans available in New Hampshire
will also be presented. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask
questions about their coverage options and how to find coverage in their
community that best meets their health and financial needs.
Monthly meetings will be held in four cities across New Hampshire

Hampton Inn & Suites, 195 Laconia Road, Tilton; third Saturday of each
