The summer of June 2026 is officially electric, especially in the Dallas- Ft. Worth area, as North America is co-hosting the 2026 World Cup. Communities all across the country are gathering together to cheer, celebrate, and connect. There is a magnetic energy in the air when people unite for a common goal—whether that’s supporting a team on the pitch or building a stronger, healthier neighborhood right here at home.

At getMcare, we believe that local support is the ultimate foundation for a solid team.

We are teaming up with Metrocrest Services to host a series of community-focused Medicare educational workshops. These gatherings are completely free, open to the public, and structured to help you navigate your healthcare options and give you total clarity.

Let’s look at the community playbook, see how Metrocrest is championing our local families, and find out how you can join us to get your healthcare questions answered.

📋 The Mid-Summer Chalkboard: What We’re Tackling at the Workshops

Medicare in 2026 is experiencing some of its biggest tactical changes in modern history. Between the newly introduced $2,100 out-of-pocket maximum prescription cap and the unique prior authorization rules currently active across Texas, the rulebook can feel like a maze.

Our upcoming "Questions About Medicare?" sessions at Metrocrest are designed to clear up the confusion. Think of these meetings as a casual pre-game strategy session.

Here is exactly what we will be covering on the board:

• The 2026 Rules Update: A simple breakdown of the current calendar year deductibles and how the Social Security COLA adjustments interact with your monthly premiums.

• Network Stability: How to utilize the brand-new "Inaccurate Directory" rules to protect your coverage if your doctor suddenly leaves your plan's network roster.

• Preventative Perks: Shifting your plan from standard reactive medical coverage to proactive wellness coaching, including zero-cost health screenings and local fitness benefits.

🗓️ How to Join the Huddle

Whether you are turning 65 later this year, helping an aging parent manage their upcoming coverage, or just want to double-check that your current plan is performing at its absolute best, there is a seat at the table for you. We invite you to step away from the television screens for an hour, join us at Metrocrest, and gain the ultimate peace of mind regarding your healthcare.
