New course offers retirees clarity in sea of Medicare plans

Retirees can use Doctor's Choice University for a crash course on Medicare tailored to all 50 states.

WARWICK, R.I (December 7, 2017) — As millions of
Americans navigate through the healthcare marketplace during open
enrollment, many retirees transitioning to Medicare will
be questioning the many nuances of the federal program. Doctor’s
Choice, a Warwick-based independent health insurance agency, aims to
solve this dilemma by becoming a source of pivotal information with the
launch of a new online course tailored for individuals across all 50
states.

Doctor’s Choice University provides an overview of Medicare Health Plans, compressing hours of research into small-sized modules that are designed for the general public.

“The purpose of this course to take about a thousand hours of
research and distill it down into a 40-minute presentation that anyone
can understand,” said Dr. John Luo, president of Doctor’s Choice and a graduate of the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University.

Dr. Luo recognized the need for Medicare
education during his training as a medical doctor when patients
expressed confusion over details of the program. His interactions
eventually led him to write a book titled “Retiree’s Guide to Medicare” in 2016. “When people turn 65, they start receiving this big book from Medicare
and they are inundated with advertisements that are puzzling to review
because they highlight everything that’s good without any of the
catches,” he said.

The course funnels convoluting information into lessons that retirees can use to make an educated decision, Dr. Luo said.

Module topics include an intro to Medicare,
picking a plan, issues that are overlooked, how to sign up, and other
bonus material. Each topic contains three or more videos that delve into
frequently asked questions, such as what forms need to be filled out,
how to deal with social security, and what can be done in person, just
to name a few.

“We’ve helped thousands of folks through the Medicare process over the past five years, and we want to share that experience with as many Medicare eligible people as possible,” Dr. Luo said.

Enrollment for the course is available now at an introductory rate of $27, a one-time fee valid through December 31, 2017, that grants unlimited access. The course can be accessed by visiting: http://doctorschoiceu.com
