As we age, many of us find ourselves seeking medical care more frequently or from an increased number of providers. With additional care comes additional costs and the potential to accumulate medical debts. In this session, we'll discuss how to better understand your current health insurance coverage and how it works, and how to manage bills and denials after a medical event. We will also discuss what to do if you owe money for uncovered services and how to avoid fraud and scams.
