Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians Offering Online Workshops For Homebound Seniors During COVID-19 Quarantine
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In an effort to keep seniors active, provide spiritual relief and educate them on Medicare options during COVID-19 quarantine, Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians (COPC) is offering a myriad of free online classes for homebound seniors.
Anyone is welcome to attend a virtual “Medicare 101” workshop and learn how Medicare works, what it covers, when to enroll, and how to avoid late enrollment penalties. Those who are approaching mid-60s, eligible for Medicare coverage, or over 65 and about to retire can take advantage of these workshops—all while practicing social distancing in the comfort of their own home.
Workshops are offered by Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians as part of COPC Senior Care Advantage initiative, an innovative health model that improves quality, efficiency and patient experience for Medicare patients.
