Colonial Club offers informative talk about Medicare benefits
Insurance Rep. Speaks at Luncheon
The Colonial Club of Bay Ridge strives to offer insightful and engaging talks about community events and issues that pertain to its devoted membership. The club is comprised of community leaders and professionals, including bankers, doctors, realtors and insurance agents, among others. The meetings also serve to inform members of upcoming neighborhood events.
At last Thursday’s meeting, club member Louis J. Peters of AMP Insurance Brokerage on 7709 Fifth Ave. gave a well-received talk about United Health Care Medicare solutions and the various plans available to enrollees. Peters discussed the 2017 Medicare plans in detail, as well as the various changes to the prescription drug plans.
Peters detailed the benefits of New York’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) Program, which helps seniors aged 65 and older to supplement their out-of-pocket Medicare Part D drug plan costs. He encouraged those eligible to seek out the various plans that would help keep their coverage cost down.
