This is in relation to the penalties for failing to sign up within the time frames for Medicare Part B or Part D. Missing these dates can significantly cost seniors throughout their remaining lives. It can also affect the choices that you may make on your Medicare Advantage plans. Check with your agent about the timelines and penalties for missing out on signing up.

Original Medicare lets you see any doctor nationwide and works well for people who travel or want flexibility. It usually costs more monthly, especially if you add drug (Part D) and Medigap coverage, but you’ll have fewer restrictions.

Medicare Advantage is a lower-cost, all-in-one option from private insurers that includes extras like dental and vision. It often has network limits and copays, but can save you money if you’re okay with those trade-offs.
