Webinar Series to Help Improve Understanding of Medicare Enrollment

DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wellabe, a trusted leader in insurance solutions, announced today the launch of its comprehensive Medicare Masterclass webinar series, designed to simplify the often-confusing world of Medicare enrollment and supplemental insurance options. The free, expert-led educational sessions, taking place in September and October 2025, are open to anyone interested in learning about Medicare – no existing policy with Wellabe required.

Sessions will be held:

• Tuesday, September 30 – 3:00 PM CST
• Wednesday, October 22 – 10:00 AM CST

With Americans bombarded by Medicare advertisements, confusing enrollment deadlines, and complex plan options, navigating Medicare has become overwhelming for many. Wellabe's Medicare Masterclass addresses this challenge head-on by providing clear, step-by-step guidance from licensed insurance professionals.

"Medicare insurance doesn't have to be difficult – let's take it step by step," said Ed Croushore, Vice President of Product Solutions at Wellabe. "We're seeing too many people make costly mistakes simply because they don't have access to clear, unbiased information. Our Medicare Masterclass removes the confusion and empowers people to make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage."

The webinar series specifically addresses the three most expensive Medicare mistakes:

• Missing enrollment periods – resulting in permanent late penalties or coverage gaps.
• Choosing inadequate coverage – leading to unexpectedly high out-of-pocket medical costs.
• Neglecting regular plan reviews – missing opportunities to optimize coverage as health needs change.

Each interactive session will feature live presentations from Wellabe's licensed insurance professionals, covering:

• Medicare Fundamentals: What Medicare covers and what it doesn't.
• Enrollment Timing: Understanding eligibility periods and avoiding penalties.
• Step-by-Step Enrollment: How to navigate the Medicare sign-up process.
• Supplemental Insurance: Filling Medicare's coverage gaps with Medigap and other options.
• Plan Coordination: How Medicare works with existing health insurance.
• Coverage Decisions: Choosing between high- and low-deductible options.
• Ongoing Management: When and how to review and adjust Medicare coverage.

The live webinars will be hosted via Zoom, featuring real-time Q&A sessions during which participants can get personalized answers to their Medicare questions. All sessions will be recorded and made available on Wellabe's YouTube channel for ongoing reference.

"We believe everyone deserves access to clear Medicare education," added Croushore. "This webinar series reflects our commitment to serving the broader community and helping Americans make confident decisions about their healthcare in retirement."

The Medicare Masterclass webinar series is free and open to the public. Interested participants can register at wellabe.com/masterclass to reserve their spot. Those seeking personalized Medicare guidance can also request a free quote consultation through the website.
