A record number—just over 100--- ASURA members and guests attended our first-ever DOUBLE seminar event on October 22 and went home armed with information on Medicare, ADOA and ASRS retirement health plans. The annual Health Care-Open Enrollment Seminar was booked to capacity well before the event, with a growing waiting list that couldn’t be accommodated. Fortunately we were able to book our 3 excellent speakers for a second session, offered on the same afternoon, setting a precedent that will likely be followed next year for this popular annual event.

ADOA representative Elizabeth Shaefer, ASRS representative Pat Klein, and independent insurance agent Brian Bilyeu presented a wealth of information on ASU group retirement health plans, on Medicare Parts A-D, and on Medicare supplement and drug plans. Attendees had many of their questions answered and were enthusiastic about the knowledgeable speakers, friendly delivery, and quality of information conveyed.
