FAQ

  • What is Medicare and how does it work in 2025?

    Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older, and for certain individuals with disabilities. In 2025, Medicare includes Part A (Hospital Insurance), Part B (Medical Insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans), and Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage). As a licensed Medicare agent, I help you understand how each part works and which plan fits your specific needs.

  • When should I enroll in Medicare?

    Most people enroll when they turn 65 during their Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). If you’re still working and have employer coverage, your enrollment rules may be different. I help clients understand exactly when to enroll to avoid Medicare penalties and prevent gaps in coverage.

  • Do I need Medicare if I am still working at age 65?

    It depends on your employer’s insurance plan. Some people benefit from delaying certain Medicare parts, while others should enroll immediately. I provide personalized guidance to help you decide whether to keep your employer’s insurance, or if beginning Medicare may be more a suitable option. Each Medicare receipient should be evaluted independently based on their individual circumstances.

  • What is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage?

    Original Medicare (Parts A & B): Nationwide coverage, no provider network, but doesn’t include dental, vision, or hearing.

    Medicare Advantage (Part C): Offered by private insurers, includes everything in A & B plus extra benefits like prescription drugs, vision, dental, hearing, fitness, and more.

    As your Medicare agent, I compare plans in your area to help you find the best coverage.

  • Does Medicare cover prescription drugs?

    Yes — if you enroll in a Part D plan or choose a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage. I help clients compare drug plans based on your exact medications to make sure you’re not overpaying.

  • Can I change my Medicare plan?

    Yes. You can switch plans during:

    Medicare Annual Enrollment (Oct 15 – Dec 7)

    Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment (Jan 1 – Mar 31)

    Special Enrollment Periods (for qualifying life events)

    I assist clients year-round to ensure they stay in the best plan as their needs change.
