Heading Into Summer: A Perfect Time to Prepare for Medicare
As we welcome the sunshine, longer days, and family get-togethers that summer brings, it’s also the perfect time to pause and prepare for something incredibly important — your Medicare coverage.
Whether you’re turning 65 this year, are already enrolled in Medicare, or helping a loved one navigate their options, summer is a smart season to get organized before the rush of fall’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP).
Here’s how you can use this time to get ahead:
✅ 1. Know Your Eligibility
Are you turning 65 soon? Have you been receiving disability benefits? Now’s the time to understand when you’re eligible to enroll and avoid penalties or missed opportunities.
💡 Tip: You can enroll up to 3 months before your 65th birthday — don’t wait!
✅ 2. Understand Your Options
Medicare isn’t one-size-fits-all. During the summer, take time to learn the differences between:
Original Medicare (Parts A & B)
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)
Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
Supplemental (Medigap) Plans
Each choice impacts your doctors, costs, and coverage — and Senior Choice Consulting is here to help you compare them clearly and confidently.
✅ 3. Watch Out for Unsolicited Calls
As the year progresses, many people begin receiving sales calls or mailers promoting Medicare plans. Be cautious of aggressive marketing. You should never feel rushed, confused, or pressured.
🔒 Remember: I don’t sell plans. I educate and empower you to make the right choice — without sales pressure.
✅ 4. Book a Medicare Consultation
Summer is the ideal time to schedule a personal Medicare review — before the busy fall season.
