If you are new to Medicare, it may seem like there is a lot to learn and adsorb. We are here to help you. Keep this information close to you, and then call us today. We are always available to answer your Medicare questions.
Medicare was created to provide health insurance for all people 65 years of age or older. It has gone through many changes over the years. More recently, a new program was added to help cover prescription drug costs.
Here are some Medicare facts to remember:
- Using an agent does not cost you anymore.
- When you are first eligible for Medicare, you have a 7-month Initial Enrollment Period to sign up for Part A and/or Part B.
- Once your Initial Enrollment Period ends, you may have the chance to sign up for Medicare during a Special Enrollment Period. If you are covered under a group health plan based on current employment, and that plan ends, you can call us for enrollment options.
-
Open Enrollment is from October 15th through December 7th every year. If you use the Open Enrollment period to choose a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, that new coverage will begin on January 1.
