Today PlanPrescriber (www.planprescriber.com), a wholly-owned subsidiary of eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH), released five brief videos that provide a basic overview of Medicare Coverage Options for seniors and qualifying disabled Americans.
The videos are designed to provide Medicare beneficiaries, and their loved ones, with a high-level understanding of their coverage options during Medicare's open enrollment, the 2011 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs from November 15, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The videos cover the following topics:
1. Medicare Options Overview: (Video run time is 7 minutes, 25 seconds -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heak8YzFy9w)
2. Medicare Options Summary: (Video runs 1 minute, 7 seconds -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV6FLl6uIVk)
