At Hillsboro Health we want our patients to feel informed about their healthcare options. Each year Hillsboro Health hosts Managed Care Partners to provide an educational session discussing available Medicare plans and any annual changes. Below find copies of this year's presentation and corresponding documents and resources.
Patients are encouraged to talk to their local SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program) advisor (identified in the PDF below), to learn more about their options and make the choice that best satisfies their needs.
