FAQ's

Health Insurance & Medicare Basics

Does it cost anything to work with you?

No. Premiums are set by the carrier or the government either way โ€” working with me doesn't add to your cost, and I can often help you find savings you'd miss shopping alone.

What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?

Medicare Advantage bundles your coverage into one plan, usually through a network, often with extra benefits. Medicare Supplement works alongside Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs, with more flexibility on providers. Which fits depends on your health needs and how you like to receive care.

I'm turning 65 soon โ€” when should I start this process?

Ideally a few months before your Initial Enrollment Period opens, which begins 3 months before your birthday month. Starting early avoids a deadline crunch and possible late-enrollment penalties.

I don't have coverage through an employer โ€” what are my options?

You likely qualify for an ACA Marketplace plan, and depending on your income, may qualify for a subsidy that lowers your monthly premium. I can check your eligibility and walk you through plans.

Can I switch plans if my situation changes mid-year?

Sometimes. Qualifying life events โ€” losing a job, moving, marriage, losing other coverage โ€” can open a Special Enrollment Period outside the normal windows.
