Understanding Medicare (CEU) Webinars

April 16 & 17, 2019   1:00 – 3:00 pm ET
These interactive training webinars are stand-alone events covering Medicare Program basics. You aren’t required to attend both days and space is limited. The number of continuing education units (CEUs) you can earn is 0.2 (2 hours) for each day you attend the training and complete all course requirements. You can access the link to your certificate from the same page you used to complete the requirements. A description of the requirements to earn CEUs for these training events is found on the registration page for each webinar.
Topics for each day
Day 1—Medicare enrollment and eligibility; SSA and CMS roles and responsibilities; cost and coverage under Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance); why enrolling on time is important; an overview of Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policies; and the basics of Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D).

Day 2—Medicare Advantage Plans; coordination of benefits; how to detect and report suspected Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse; and different resources to help you find answers to Medicare policy and coverage questions.
