Most people don’t realize that Medicare works a lot like driving in unfamiliar territory. One wrong turn can lead to unnecessary costs, coverage gaps, or penalties.
Here are five common mistakes I see every year after more than 40 years helping Medicare beneficiaries.
1. Missing your Initial Enrollment Period.
2. Choosing a plan based only on premium.
3. Ignoring annual plan changes.
4. Forgetting about prescription coverage.
5. Not asking questions when something is unclear.
Just like a GPS recalculates when you miss a turn, there are often solutions available when Medicare decisions don’t go as planned. Follow the link below for a more personal touch.
