Join us for a comprehensive workshop on changes coming to Medicare in 2026!
About this Event

The Annual Enrollment Period for Part D drug plans and Part C Medicare Advantage plans begins October 15 and will end December 7.

Passages HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program) is providing several community workshops entitled What’s New with Medicare in 2025 to help Medicare beneficiaries make the best choice possible for their health care needs in the coming year. These workshops will explain changes in Medicare – plus information about drug plans, which plans will remain in the area, which plans will be leaving, and will also answer questions about Medicare Advantage plans.

In this workshop, we will discuss:

– Medicare 2026 Costs & Enrollment Periods

– 2026 Medicare Advantage Plan landscape

– Part D & Medigap Supplemental Insurance Options

– Medicare Savings Programs, Extra Help & Medi-Cal changes for 2026

– Discuss Open Enrollment fraud alerts & scams


Ronda Kramer, HICAP Program Director wants Medicare beneficiaries to know that the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period should not be confused with the Covered California Insurance Exchange enrollment period. She warns beneficiaries to be on the alert for insurance agents using aggressive tactics to sell health insurance. Misinforming beneficiaries would be considered fraud. Fraudsters are very active this time of year. Seniors and others on Medicare who participate in Covered California in error may experience complications with their coverage and potential premium penalties with Medicare in the future.

Los eventos son desde las 1pm hasta las 3pm, y los días son los siguientes: Noviembre 12, 2025

Ronda Kramer, directora del programa HICAP, quiere que los beneficiarios de Medicare sepan que el período de inscripción anual de Medicare no debe confundirse con el período de inscripción de Covered California Insurance Exchange. Ella advierte a los beneficiarios que estén alerta ante los agentes de seguros que utilizan tácticas agresivas para vender seguros médicos. Informar mal a los beneficiarios se consideraría fraude. Los estafadores están muy activos en esta época del año. Las personas mayores y otras personas con Medicare que participan en Covered California por error pueden experimentar complicaciones con su cobertura y posibles sanciones en las primas de Medicare en el futuro.
