Diabetes resources: choosing a Medicare/Medicaid health care plan

Determining what health care plan is best for you can be daunting. Along with premium costs, you need to consider deductibles, co-pays, prescription coverage, provider networks, claim processes and so on. The community is invited to a webinar on Thursday, Aug. 29 from 12-1 p.m. to learn more about making the outcome of this process end up being the most beneficial for you.
