Top questions about Medicare

How do I sign up for Medicare at 65?

You can enroll online through the Social Security Administration (ssa.gov), by phone, or by visiting your local Social Security office. 
 

Will I be automatically enrolled?

Some people are automatically enrolled in Medicare if they are already receiving benefits from the Social Security Administration before turning 65. In this case, they are typically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B automatically. Others may need to sign up themselves during enrollment period.
 

Do I need additional coverage?

After enrolling in Medicare Part A and Part B, many people review additional coverage options to help with the 20% out-of-pocket costs or prescription drugs. Plans such as, Medicare Part D or Medicare plan options available in their area to supplement what Medicare doesn't cover.

What does Medicare cost?

Costs for Medicare can include monthly premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses. Medicare Part B typically has a monthly premium and individuals may pay more depending on income due to the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA).

Why understanding IRMAA matters

Even if you’ve enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B, your income can influence how much you pay in premiums each month. The Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) may increase costs for some individuals, and it can be triggered by factors ie: retirement account withdrawals, investment income, or changes in household income.

Understanding IRMAA can help you:

• Make an informed decisions about your coverage options

• Prepare for income-related adjustments in the future

We can walk through how Medicare calculates IRMAA and answer your questions all in a short, educational consultation

IRMAA Medicare Cost
A person working past age 65 often should make a choice between keeping employer insurance or begin their Medicare enrollment.
Still working past 65? You may have more options than you think

 

Many people choose to keep working until 67 or later. If that’s your plan, it’s worth knowing when you’re eligible for Medicare, your employer plan may not always be the most affordable option.
 

Depending on your situation, some people find that combining options like Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, or a Medicare Advantage plan can cost less than staying fully on their employer coverage. It’s a good idea to compare both options side by side before deciding.

Don’t overlook retirement income planning. Taking time now to review your healthcare options and begin planning ahead can help you move into retirement with greater clarity. If you’d like help reviewing your options, I'm here to help you compare and see what may work best for your situation.
