Free Online Workshops Available For Homebound Seniors During COVID-19 Quarantine
Austin Physician Groups Offering Uplifting, Spiritual Classes and Medicare 101 Virtual Workshops
AUSTIN, Texas, April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to keep seniors mentally active, provide spiritual relief and educate them about Medicare options during this time of quarantine, Austin Regional Clinic, Premier Family Physicians, and Capital Medical Clinic are offering free online classes for homebound seniors.
Anyone is welcome to attend a virtual "Medicare 101" Workshop and learn about how Medicare works, what it covers, when to enroll, and how to avoid late enrollment penalties. Those who are approaching their mid-60s, eligible for Medicare coverage, or over 65 and about to retire, can take advantage of these workshops while practicing safe social distancing at home.
The workshops are offered by the physician groups as part of Connected Senior Care Advantage, an innovative health model that improves the quality, efficiency and patient experience for Medicare patients.
