Program Description: Part of Seacoast Village Project’s monthly Lunch & Learn medical decision-making series, this presentation is focused on helping participants understand the “lay of the land” and become confident consumers of health care and health information. As a care manager, presenter Nancy Euchner has often worked with people who are navigating the healthcare system and faced with surprises about costs and insurance limitations. She will discuss current average costs of care in the Greater Seacoast area, and how to plan ahead and develop strategies to deal with unexpected challenges.
