I'm turning 65 next month; what are the first steps I should take regarding Medicare enrollment?

Why would you not choose a medicare Advantage plan?
Answer: Both programs are positive and negative. We meet with people are there is a lot more to it. Do you travel? Family Health History? Snowbird? for examples.
If we choose a Medicare Advantage plan and later regret it, can we go back to Original Medicare without penalties?
Answer: No penalties. There will be health questions as they can accept you or deny you. I help people with the process as there is more to it.
Should Medicare cover dental, vision, and hearing, or would that just make it more expensive for everyone?
Answer: Medicare doesn’t cover dental, vision and hearing. They never have since 1965. We offer many options.
I just enrolled in Medicare, and I've got my Part A and B, but I'm hearing there are gaps in coverage. What are these gaps exactly?
Answer: Medicare only covers 80% and the gap is 20% and no protection. For example, 20% of cancer. I help guide people with the other options to help.
When will my provider send my Annual Notice of Change?
Answer: It comes from your insurance company if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or your prescription drug company if you have a Supplement.
