About Me
I have been a licensed Medicare insurance agent in California since March 2016. With a background in Graphic Design and Web Development, I have found success as a Broker specializing in Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Prescription drug plans. My favorite part of the job is helping seniors navigate the complexities of Medicare and find the best plan to fit their health needs and lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as surfing, snowboarding, and hiking.
Q&A with Steve Korts
I'm turning 65 next month; what are the first steps I should take regarding Medicare enrollment?
Answer: The 1st step, if you're not already taking Social Security is to sign up for Part B of Medicare. If you're receiving Social Security then you will be signed up for Part B automatically. This is assuming you will not be working and will be going onto Medicare as soon as you're eligible. If you're still working and your employer coverage meets the criteria, you can continue with that coverage as long as you like.
How do you educate clients who are completely new to Medicare?
Answer: I like to sit down in person and go over the basics, what parts do what and their costs. Then we talk about the 'fork in the road' regarding Medicare insurance. Either going with a Medicare Supplement plan and Part D Rx plan OR going with a Medicare Advantage plan. I go over the pro's and con's of each and then we can talk about specific plans in both categories.
