Question from a Senior: What's one piece of advice you wish every senior knew before picking a Medicare plan?

Advice for Seniors

Over 90% of seniors I have met over the past 13 years, wrongly assume Medicare will financially cover their long term care needs. Thankfully, we offer protection for those needs as seniors become more frail and require care their families are often unable to adequately provide.
Additionally, for those seniors who do not receive federal, state, or VA assistance with their healthcare, Medicare Advantage plans come sometimes become difficult to navigate. Especially relating to network and pharmacy network pricing guidelines. I stand ready to assist anyone with Medicare or retirement planning challenges.

To make sure they talk with an expert that knows the plans in their area and is thorough looking up any meds and doctors.

You can sign up for Medicare 3 months before your birth month.

I encourage my clients to sign up for both Part A & Part B to avoid future penalties for enrolling late.

It’s important to fully understand the original Medicare A&B share of cost amounts and how those benefits work

Navigating the parts of Medicare, enrollment timelines and choosing a Medicare Insurance plan can be an overwhelming and confusing process, but it's such an important decision and can have substantial long-term consequences. My encouragement to every person approaching Medicare eligibility is to find a local independent broker that knows the medical systems and insurance plans in their area well and can offer a broad overview of many different companies and plan options within one appointment. There should be no charge to you for an insurance broker’s expertise and assistance.

Take your time and review everything thoroughly. I dont want anyone to miss out benefits they don’t know about.

Make sure part A and Part B are current.
Have a list of doctors, medicines, hospitals. Exact spelling, dosage, frequency.
