As a University of Iowa retiree currently enrolled in a Health Alliance plan, you may have questions about what comes next. With Health Alliance coverage ending, it’s essential to understand your Medicare options and make the best choice for your healthcare needs.
To help guide you through this transition, the University of Iowa is partnering with the Johnson County Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) to offer free informational sessions, both in person and online. These sessions are designed to provide you with the knowledge and support you need to navigate your Medicare choices with confidence.
