Best to ensure your choice of doctor(s) is covered under the plan
If a senior is turning 65 but still working, should they enroll in Medicare or delay it?
Answer: A Senior, if still working, can enroll in Part A but need not enroll in Part B if they have creditable insurance on the job.
A senior may continue to work after 65 if they're desiring to reach full retirement age and delay SS and Medicare enrollment
How will the new 2025 Medicare Part D out-of-pocket cap impact seniors and prescription drug costs?
Answer: The Doughnut hole, wherein your cost share was $8,000 before moving your monetary commitment to the next category of Catastrophic, has been eliminated. The cost share now is $2,000 after any deductible.
I'm retiring next year - do I need to do anything with my Medicare?
Answer: Yes, contact me to line up next steps for Medicare and SS registration. Not doing so may cause penalties and/or reduced income if not done in a timely, and knowledgeable, manner.
How does life insurance contribute to financial planning?

What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?
