Today, we're excited to welcome Fred Trenkle as our guest host. Fred is a dedicated volunteer with the Baltimore County Department of Aging's State Health Insurance Program, also known as SHIP. He's here to help us navigate the often confusing world of Medicare Advantage and break down its complexities.

If you or a loved one is approaching Medicare age or has questions about Medicare and Medicare Advantage, reach out to your local SHIP agency. SHIP agencies are available nationwide to provide support. For those in Maryland, here’s a list of where you can find assistance in your area.
