Q&A with Earl Poole
I'm planning to delay Social Security until age 70, but I'm turning 65 soon. How does this affect my Medicare enrollment?
Answer: As long as you are covered by an Employer plan (yours or a spouse) you are not required to sign up for Medicare Part B. You can sign up for Part A because generally its free. Make sure that with the Employer plan that you have a creditable drug plan. The benefits administrator can tell you. You can delay your Part B enrollment until you leave the Employer plan.
Is Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage better? Why do you recommend one over the other?
Answer: Original Medicare on its own has gaps in coverage. So that's an unfair comparison. With Original Medicare, you may also need a supplement. Feel free to contact me to go over both options.
