Protecting the Nest Egg

What Every Financial Professional Needs to Know About Healthcare Costs

Kia Gordon has spent 35 years across 17 healthcare roles — from EMT to billing supervisor to utilization review at United Healthcare. She's seen every side of the system, and she wrote the book on what families need to know but don't. This webinar brings that insider knowledge directly to financial professionals who need to protect their clients' portfolios from healthcare's biggest blind spots.

About the Session

A 60-minute professional development session for CPAs, CFPs, wealth managers, and estate planners.

Your clients trust you with their money. But the biggest threat to their nest egg isn't the market — it's a healthcare system they don't understand and a Medicare maze they can't navigate alone.

In this session, healthcare veteran Kia Gordon walks through the four critical ages where financial professionals can make or break a client's retirement: 45, 55–60, 65, and 75+. You'll see real spend-down scenarios, real IRMAA tier traps, and real costs that no one explains until it's too late.

This isn't a product pitch. It's the healthcare education that financial training programs skip — taught by someone who spent 35 years inside the system.

Format: Live via Zoom with Q&A. Sessions available for individual firms, study groups, or professional associations.
