GNRC's Medicare Counseling Program is partnering with local universities for a Medicare Training focused on Plan Comparisons and a workshop day to help people in the community with their plan comparison requests that they have mailed in during the Annual Open Enrollment Period.
We will hold a virtual training via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, from 8am to 12pm during which you will learn the basics of Medicare as well as how to do plan comparisons for beneficiaries. Please note that this training is ONLY for those interested in participating in the plan comparison workshop on October 31st. If you are interested in learning Medicare basics but don't want to or can't attend the workshop, let your professor know and we will provide that opportunity for you at another time.
At the end of the training, you will take the certification test and be officially certified to complete Medicare plan comparisons. Certification is valid for one year. Update training is required annually to maintain certification.
Those wishing to become full Medicare counselors (able to counsel directly) can pursue further training with GNRC.
On October 31, 2025, from 8am to 12pm we will meet in person at Lipscomb University (details on room location and parking to be forthcoming via email for those who sign up) to have a plan comparison workshop. We will put the training to use and complete plan comparisons for people in the community who have mailed in their requests to SHIP. You will be able to make a big difference for people, helping them evaluate their best options for a Medicare Plan for the next year. Attendance of the training and successful certification is required to attend the workshop.
Additional opportunities to help with plan comparisons beyond the plan comparison workshop are available for those interested.
Please sign up for this opportunity and Rebecca will follow up via email with the application form and Background Check Authorization. For questions reach out to Rebecca at rnofi@gnrc.org. Thanks!
