This presentation is designed to be educational, practical and easy to understand for a broad audience, including those already on Medicare, approaching eligibility, or helping aging parents and family members. It is not a sales presentation.

This educational presentation will help attendees better understand Medicare and avoid common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary costs or coverage problems. Drawing from Vicki James’ book, "Medicare Without the Mistakes: Clear Guidance for Confident Choices", the program will separate common Medicare myths from facts, highlight key decisions people should prepare for, and explain why timing, prescriptions, providers and coverage choices matter. Attendees will leave with practical information, greater confidence, and a clearer understanding of questions to ask when approaching Medicare or reviewing their current coverage.

The program can be tailored to fit a 20-minute Rotary meeting format and is well suited for clubs looking for timely, community-focused education on a topic that affects many members and their families. The presentation is suitable for in-person or virtual presentations and can be scheduled Monday through Sunday, during morning, lunch, or dinner meetings. Vicki is available throughout the District 7120 Finger Lakes Region and can typically accommodate two week’s advance notice.
