WinterSurvey: October meeting summary - Healthcare, dental, transportation and home assistance needs

At our last meeting at the Independence Library we had a presentation and question and answer session with Lori Nagy, from the Lori Nagy Insurance Group.
She distributed information about a home health care insurance plan with Kemper Solutions and dental plans with UnitedHealthOne among other things.

As an insurance representative working for individuals with medical issues, such as Ataxia Lori said she has the ability to help research and arrange the best and most affordable individualized medical plan for her clients - which includes helping clients with transportation, home mobility devices and more.

Lori Nagy can be reached at 330.240.6526 for more information.

October Meeting, Ataxia Foundation Cleveland

ATAXIA MEETING
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Independence LIBRARY at 6:30 pm


We do have a guest speaker, Lori Nagy, who is an independent insurance agent, who specializes in health care. With Medicare enrollment beginning Oct. 15 and running for 6 weeks, the window is tight if you are contemplating changes. She also specializes in the Affordable Care Act. She is unbiased and has really helped multiple friends & family of ours make sense of a very complicated subject. For example, one person was quoted over $800/month for coverage on the phone and she was able to get it for under $100/month for the same plan by just talking to the right person. Like Ataxia, every case is different. She will cover general guidelines in her talk and meet individually with folks as needed.

As always, family, friends and care-givers are welcome.
