Talking with Your Parents
This consumer's guide was created to help seniors and their adult children sort through the basic facts about Medicare and the choices seniors make related to health coverage and paying for care. This resource is intended to assist in answering questions on a range of issues, from Medicare eligibility, enrollment and coverage (including supplemental insurance and Medicare HMO's), to long-term care options available and ways of paying for such services.
