Medicare CAN be expensive, but there are ways to minimize the costs. Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging’s Roma Costanza shares information about the costs and ways to shrink them. Medicare Savings Programs can help you cover the cost of Medicare Part B. A Low-Income Subsidy can help cover the cost of Medicare Part D. Over 50% of the people in our area who qualify for these programs are not taking advantage. Determining eligibility and applying for these programs can be quite easy if you invite a SHIP counselor to help you.
This episode is hosted by Cynthia Margiotta, CEO of Pearls program of Colorado. Roma Costanza is Medicare Specialist and State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) Coordinator at the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging.
