Common questions
When should I enroll in Medicare?
Most people enroll during their Initial Enrollment Period (3 months before to 3 months after their 65th birthday month). Missing this window can result in lifelong penalties and delayed coverage.
What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medigap?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that often includes drug coverage. Medigap (Supplement) works alongside Original Medicare to pay deductibles and coinsurance. You cannot have both.
Can I change plans later?
Yes — during the Annual Election Period (Oct 15–Dec 7), you can switch between Advantage plans or return to Original Medicare. Medigap changes may require medical underwriting outside your initial enrollment window.
