This course will include a review of the elements, benefits and eligibilities for Medicare; Medicare Advantage plans; Medicare Part D(the new prescription drug benefit) as well as Home Health Care and Hospice Care benefits.  The course will then review the various Medigap policies that are available to cover the significant "gaps" in the Medicare program.  Agents will also be familiarized with Long-Term Care Supplement policy provisions and exclusions.  Even if you do not actively write Medigap or LTC policies, you will find the information in this course to be very useful.
