WE'VE GOT ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common questions about Medicare timelines, costs, and plan differences. If you don't see your question answered here, we're always just a phone call away.

When should I sign up for Medicare?

Your Initial Enrollment Period starts 3 months before your 65th birthday. We recommend contacting us 3-4 months before turning 65 to explore your options without feeling rushed.

Do I have to pay for Medicare?

Part A is usually premium-free if you worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. Part B has a standard monthly premium. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans may also have premiums, though many $0 premium options exist in our area.

Can I keep my current doctor?

If you choose a Medicare Supplement (Medigap), you can see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans operate on local networks (HMO/PPO), so we will always verify if your preferred doctors are in-network before recommending a plan.

What if I'm still working past 65?

You may be able to delay Part B if you have creditable employer coverage. We can help you compare your current employer plan against Medicare to see which offers better value, and ensure you avoid any late enrollment penalties.

Do you charge a fee for your services?

No! Our guidance and enrollment services are completely free to you. We are compensated directly by the insurance companies if you choose to enroll in a plan through us, and your premiums are exactly the same whether you use our help or do it alone.
