Your Medicare choice can have long-term implications. Or you can change it next year. In this episode of Marci Talks Money (and Life), I talk with Steve Grossman, an independent Medicare agent, about some of the Medicare knowledge you need to know before you turn 65, as well as considerations for annual enrollment. We talk about the decisions people face when they first become eligible for Medicare, the different types of coverage available, and some of the questions you may want to consider when choosing a plan. Steve shares his experience helping people navigate Medicare and explains why the coverage that makes sense for one person may not be the right choice for someone else. We also talk about what happens after you enroll, including annual enrollment, changing plans, prescription coverage, healthcare needs, and the importance of paying attention when your circumstances—or your plan—change. As with many financial decisions, there isn't one answer that works for everyone. The goal is to understand your options well enough to ask good questions and make a decision that fits your circumstances.
