Reaching Medicare age should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Use this simple checklist to stay on track and avoid costly penalties.
1. Mark your enrollment window
Your seven-month Initial Enrollment Period starts three months before your birthday month. Enroll early so coverage is ready on day one.
2. Decide your path
Original Medicare with a supplement, or an all-in-one Medicare Advantage plan? We help you compare both in plain English.
3. Check your prescriptions
Every Part D plan covers different drugs at different prices. Match the plan to your medications, not the other way around.
4. Confirm your doctors
If you lean toward Medicare Advantage, we verify your providers are in-network before you enroll.
5. Get free guidance
A quick call with a licensed advisor turns a confusing process into a confident decision — at no cost to you.
