there any pitfalls to avoid?
I’m lucky in that my mother-in-law, who is 85 going on 86, has been doing this
for a while, so she’s been helpful with navigating things. We will have
prescriptions, that I am sure of,
I forgot to add that if you don't enroll in part D initially, you have ta pay a
penalty for every year you didn't have it if you try to get it later - totally
a money grab by the insurance industry. There is no government part D, it's all

We are on Medicare also - and have a supplemental plan that covers everything

now, but the part D premium is far more than the cost of the

That’s why we went with our credit union. We’ve been members there for close to
30 years and are familiar with their professional services, which have always
been top-notch. Despite that, we still gave them a practice run to see how they
performed and they did well, so we’re satisfied.

And who to trust. My father-in-law fell for a lot of life insurance "scams" in
his later life,
I’ll be connecting with our benefits people as well in the near future, but I’m
pretty sure I won’t get kicked off the County health plan I’m contributing to
unless I stop working - period. I also know that despite not being in the state

I think your employer will turf you off to Medicare when you turn 65 so you

I know little about it myself but check your employee plan, some may drop you

There's the point of view that if you get Medicare Part A for free, why not
take it?
Also if you have an

I’m in the same boat as you - a year out from 65 this month and getting spammed

1.) Consult a professional. It’s money very, very well spent. They know exactly
