Welcome to Medicare!

Turning 65 soon? This workshop helps adults navigate the Medicare enrollment process with clarity and confidence. Presented by the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) and the Orange County Department on Aging, the session covers practical essentials: when and how to enroll, what late enrollment penalties look like, and a full breakdown of Medicare's costs, benefits, and plan options. Whether you're retiring imminently, already retired, or planning to keep working, you'll walk away with concrete answers to your questions. To attend, call 919.245.2015 to register. If you'd prefer information in Spanish, interpreters are available through North Carolina's Department of Insurance Call Center at 1.855.408.1212 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.).
