Inside the Guide

Everything Medicare in One Place

No fluff, no sales pitch for a specific carrier. Just clear, honest explanations of every Medicare decision you'll face — in the order you'll face them.

Chapter 1

Medicare 101: The Foundation

Parts A & B explained — what's covered, what's not, and the costs most people don't expect when they first enroll.

Chapter 2

The First Big Decision: Supplement vs. Advantage

The most important choice you'll make in Medicare, explained without the carrier bias. Understand the real trade-offs before anyone tries to enroll you.

Chapter 3

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans

Plan G, Plan N, high-deductible options — how they work, how they're priced, and how underwriting can lock you out if you wait.

Chapter 4

Medicare Advantage: Benefits & Risks

The network restrictions, prior authorization rules, and benefit-change risk that the TV ads won't mention. What to watch for in 2026.

Chapter 5

Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage

Formularies, tiers, the coverage gap, and how to pick a drug plan that won't sting you mid-year when formularies change.

Chapter 6

Enrollment Windows & Avoiding Penalties

Initial Enrollment Period, Special Enrollment Periods, and the late-enrollment penalties that are permanent — with the exact dates you need to track.

Chapter 7

Working at 65: Employer Coverage & HSAs

Still working when you turn 65? Your Medicare decisions look completely different. Understand how employer group plans and HSAs interact with Medicare.

Chapter 8

Annual Enrollment Period & Making Changes

AEP runs Oct 15 – Dec 7. OEP ends March 31. Outside those windows, you're locked in until next year — here's what that means for your planning.

Bonus

Snowbirds, Low-Income Help & IRMAA

Split your time between states? Income-related premium adjustments? Extra help programs? The guide covers the scenarios most advisors skip.

Cindy Kowalski, Licensed Independent Medicare Advisor

I almost made a costly Medicare mistake myself. My sister — already in the industry — caught it before I enrolled. That's why I became an advisor. I show people every plan available to them, not the ones that pay advisors the most.
