Priority Health Launches 'Medicare Explained' Web Site

GRAND RAPIDS -- Priority Health has created a new online tool titled "Medicare Explained" to help people understand how Medicare works. As a component of PriorityMedicare.com, this tool breaks down the overwhelming process of choosing a Medicare plan into four simple lessons. The lessons describe the basics of Medicare and the options people have.

"Priority Health understands that Medicare can often be a complicated subject," said Joan Budden, chief marketing officer, Priority Health. "Medicare Explained provides people the facts they need to make an informed decision about Medicare in an easy-to-understand format. By helping users understand their Medicare options, these resources empower Medicare members to make decisions based on their individual needs."

The Web site consists of four simple tutorials:
1. What are Medicare Parts A and B?
2. What are Medicare Parts C, D and Medigap?
3. How do I decide which type of plan I want?
4. What Priority Health Medicare plan is right for me?

Each page includes key Medicare information, a short video and a quiz designed to accommodate a number of different learning methods.
