You've got options. Lots of them!
Medicare?
Medicare Advantage?
Supplements?
It's all confusing, isn't it? I'll cut through the noise to help you decide which approach is best for you! Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all in my world. It's all based on your needs, period.

Your first chance to sign up starts three months before your 65th birthday. I help you coordinate this timeline to avoid lifetime late penalties.
Every autumn*, you can adjust your coverage. Together, we review your current prescriptions and healthcare needs to ensure your plan still fits.
*Some states have 'birthday rules' that allow you to adjust at other times of the year.
Retiring past 65 or moving to a new state opens a unique window. I can guide you through the paperwork to prevent any gaps in your care.
Advantage vs. Medicare
Multiple Paths to Keep Expenses Down
I focus on balancing budgets with full coverage. Here is a very quick look at how the two primary Medicare paths compare, plus the optional health and hospital supplements you can use to cover gaps.
Health and Hospital Supplements
Medicare
An all-in-one alternative direct from insurance carriers that bundle medical, hospital, and often drug coverage. These plans often feature low premiums, helping us keep your monthly costs highly predictable.
Medicare Parts A and B are where you start. Then you cover gaps, copays, coinsurance, and prescription drugs by adding Medicare supplements. This path offers maximum doctor freedom and robust coverage for ultimate security.
Don't like surprises? We can talk about optional health supplements that help cover hospital observation and inpatient care, ambulance transport, skilled nursing facilities, doctors who don't accept Medicare, dental, vision and more.
Cash in your pocket just when you need it most.
