The Father/Daughter Team of Lou and Jessica Pelletier will guide you through the new Medicare landscape for 2027, including:
<ul>
 <li>Plans being eliminated or discontinued for 2027 and what that means for current enrollees</li>
 <li>How these eliminations may force plan changes, premium shifts, or new enrollment decisions</li>
 <li>The redesigned Medicare drug plan rules, cost‑sharing updates, and benefit changes rolling out in 2027</li>
 <li>A clear breakdown of Medicare Parts A – Hospital Coverage B – Physician &amp; Outpatient Coverage D – Prescription Drug Coverage</li>
</ul>
You’ll also learn the pros and cons of Medicare Supplement Plans vs. Medicare Advantage Plans, how IRMAA (Income Related Monthly Adjusted Amount) works, what Medicare Savings Programs can help with, and why every family should have a Medical Power of Attorney in place.
