You might assume that your family would be able to make your health care decisions for you if you were to become incapacitated. However, this isn’t always the case. Your family may not agree on what’s best, or important decisions could fall to your providers instead. This is why it’s important for you to plan ahead. In this Medicare Minute, we’ll review advance directives, living wills, health care proxies, and powers of attorney to help ensure that decisions made on your behalf meet your needs and preferences.

If you or a loved one will soon be eligible for Medicare, join us for this Medicare Minute! We’ll go over all the basics you should know—from enrollment periods to coverage choices and beyond. Medicare can feel so confusing, but we’ll make sure you start off on the right foot.
