Medicare Monday – New to Medicare

Every year hundreds of Americans become eligible for Medicare. More older adults continue working beyond age 65 and enroll in Medicare when they no longer are employed. Get the facts on:

  • how to enroll at age 65, and
  • avoid late enrollment penalties when filing for Medicare after age 65.

All Medicare beneficiaries, especially those first enrolling, should do comparison shopping to learn more about the specific coverages provided by different companies. Some choices may not be changable until the following year.

Join us to learn more about what you need to know when enrolling in Medicare for the first time. The Society is offering several virtual meetings by Zoom.

Additionally, The Society is offering virtual and in-person sessions on the changes to Medicare in 2025.

New to Medicare

Each year, there are changes in the Medicare Part A and B deductibles, premiums, and co-pays.  These changes are affected by the Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment or COLA.  In addition, Medicare often adds new benefits that affect care and coverage.

Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage Plans annually have changes that affect beneficiaries including additional benefits, premiums, and coverage areas.  Sometimes companies add or change specific plans. Some companies leave the service area forcing members to select a new health insurance plan.

Medicare Part D or Prescription Drug Plans annually make changes in the standard benefit, the coverage gap, and the out-of-pocket expenses. The companies that offer coverage in Colorado often change or new companies enter the market.

Medicare beneficiaries should do comparison shopping to learn more about the specific coverages provided by different companies.

Learn more about the 2023 Medicare Changes. The Society is offering virtual meetings by Zoom and in-person events throughout Colorado.

Additionally, The Society is offering virtual Sessions by Zoom on New to Medicare.
