In life as we get older we gain knowledge and acquire more experience. As physicians, that can yield professional wisdom and provide greater confidence in how you proceed with your patients.

But sometimes as we approach a new threshold in our lives we need to learn about something that lies outside of our previous experience or expertise. That can happen as we get close to age 65 and begin to explore our options for Medicare.

You’ll Have Many Questions

At around age 65, most people become eligible to enroll in Medicare. At that time you’ll likely be barraged by a wealth of new information.  

You’ll have to consider different kinds of Medicare plans, multiple insurance carriers, diverse fee structures, and varying time periods in which you must enroll. You’ll probably find yourself asking questions like:  

• I’m turning 65 and still working, do I need to enroll in Original Medicare?
• Are there penalties if I don’t sign up for Medicare at the right time?
• Do I need to enroll in both Medicare Part A and Part B at the same time?
• I have dependents on my health insurance at work. If I enroll in Medicare, can I keep my employer’s group health insurance?
• I plan on signing up for Medicare. What is Medicare Supplement, and do I need it?
• I take prescriptions every day. Are they covered by Medicare?
• Do I need to replace my dental insurance and other coverage if I enroll in Medicare?

Get Simple Answers For Important Decisions

It’s true you could do your own research to get the answers to these and many other questions that will surely arise. But that can be time consuming and at the end of the day may leave you with even more questions.
