Separate Voluntary Pathway
Individualized Medicare insurance assistance is optional and separate.
You do not need to request individualized assistance to use the book, Learning Center, educational resources, seminars, or email updates. If you voluntarily choose personal Medicare insurance assistance, use the separate assistance pathway.
Individualized assistance is currently limited to Georgia. The initial request form does not ask for Medicare numbers, Social Security numbers, detailed health information, banking information, or credit-card information.
Georgia assistance pathway
Educational subscriptions, seminar registration, general contact, and book activity remain separate from a voluntary request for individualized Medicare insurance assistance.
