Marc Carr, Medicare Insurance Broker

About Me

I am a former French teacher at Mansfield Senior High school. After 26 years of teaching, and helping beneficiaries part time for the last 15 years, I am now a full-time Health and Life insurance agent/broker. My office is located in downtown Mansfield in the Barrington One building, 3rd floor. I have traveled and lived in many foreign countries (Canada, France, and Colombia, South America). My children are grown and married now, with children of their own, so I get to be the fun-loving "Pop-Pop!" I enjoy them so much! My wife and I enjoy travel, music and exploring new places along with the locals and the food.

Q&A with Marc Carr

Will I be penalized if I do not enroll in Medicare when I turn 65?

Answer: It depends... once you leave employer health insurance from the workplace, you have an 8 month window to enroll into Medicare without a late enrollment penalty for Medical, Part B coverage. But if your 65, still working and have employer coverage, you may delay your Medicare enrollment in order to stay on employer health insurance.

What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?

Answer: One of the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare is not enrolling themselves into a Drug plan. "I'm healthy and don't take a single medication, why would I sign up for one?" As this might be true, one would have a late enrollment penalty placed upon them once they do need a particular medication in the future and consequently have the penalty. I always encourage to enroll into a Part D plan as there are plans available at no monthly premium or even below $10 a month.

What do you enjoy most about working with Medicare clients?

Answer: Clients often feel overwhelmed by the choices in Medicare health insurance. As a former French teacher, I compare the complexities of learning Medicare to mastering a foreign language. My clients value the clarity I provide, trusting me to guide them through these important decisions, which I find deeply rewarding.
