Understanding Medicare and disability benefits can be challenging—especially when living with Parkinson’s. This informative session will break down the essentials of Medicare, including what’s covered (and what’s not), how it supports people with Parkinson’s, and how to navigate gaps in care. We'll also explore the intersection of disability benefits and Medicare, helping you or your loved one make informed decisions about available support and resources.
