GREETINGS
September means that summer is over and the season is again changing. This also means that Medicare is changing with the implementation of Medicare+Choice.We are looking ahead to the fall training schedule and planning very unique training sessions. Each of the NICA Regional Representatives are helping with planning the topics and subjects to be covered. One topic that we will defiantly cover is Medicare+Choice. This is a very important and substantive training session and 100 % participation is needed from NICA Volunteers.
NICA has been quite lenient regarding attendance at the last update training session. Those unable to attend received the training packet and were asked to review it and return a questionnaire. Because of the enormous changes taking effect this fall, every effort to attend the fall training session is necessary.
I know this effort to attend will make sense because each of you shares our commitment to providing up-to-date and accurate information and service to our clients in Nebraska.
I look forward to the updates and Medicare changes this fall. Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work.
As of this printing the following are the dates for the fall update training sessions. Additional locations will be posted soon. Invitation, times and locations will follow in the mail.
10/21-Kearney
11/18-Grant
