Top 5 Medicare Mistakes to Avoid

Choosing a Medicare plan can be overwhelming, and the wrong choice can cost you money and limit your coverage. Here are the top 5 mistakes people make — and how you can avoid them.

1. Missing Enrollment Deadlines:

Delaying enrollment can result in penalties or gaps in coverage. Always know your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) and Annual Enrollment Period (AEP).

2. Not Reviewing Prescription Drug Coverage:

Plans can change their formularies each year. Failing to check your medications may lead to higher out-of-pocket costs.

3. Assuming Original Medicare Covers Everything:

Original Medicare doesn’t cover dental, vision, hearing, or many extras. Explore Medicare Advantage plans for more benefits.

4. Choosing a Plan Based Only on Premiums:

Low premiums can be attractive, but out-of-pocket costs and provider networks matter more in the long run.

5. Not Getting Professional Help:

Medicare is complex. Licensed agents can help you compare plans and ensure you don’t miss out on benefits you qualify for.
