Okay so I made something and I'm really excited to share it!

You know how the best trips are the ones where you actually felt prepared going in? Where you didn't spend the whole time in the back of your mind wondering if you forgot something?

That's exactly what this is for.

I put together a free checklist called the 5 Things to Check About Your Medicare Before Summer Gets Going and it is genuinely the thing I wish every single one of my clients had sitting on their kitchen table right now.

It covers the stuff that actually matters this time of year. The things that are easy to overlook when life gets busy. The things that tend to show up as surprises at the worst possible moment if you don't catch them first.

It takes about ten minutes to go through. It's written in plain English. And when you're done you'll know exactly where you stand going into summer.

No jargon. No scary fine print. Just five clear things to check so you can enjoy the next few months without anything catching you off guard.

The best part? It's completely free!

Comment the word SUMMER below and I'll send it straight to you!

Already feel pretty confident about your coverage going into summer?

We've all been there... 😬

Bags are packed. Alarm is set. You should absolutely be asleep right now.

Instead you're in bed with your phone and a growing sense of panic that sounds something like this...

"Does Medicare work in other states"

"What happens if I need a doctor on vacation"

"Can I fill my prescription at a different pharmacy"

"Does Medicare cover emergency room out of state"

"What is coinsurance again"

"Will my Medicare Advantage plan cover me if I'm traveling"

"Why is Medicare so confusing"

First of all, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. These are completely legitimate questions and it makes total sense that they come up right before a trip!

Second of all, this is literally what I'm here for.

You should not have to figure this out at 11pm by yourself the night before you leave. That's my job and I genuinely love doing it.

If you've got a trip coming up this summer or you just want to know where you stand before things get busy, send me a message. No forms. No pressure. Just a real conversation with someone who actually knows the answers.

DM me the word SUMMER and let's get you sorted before your next adventure!

Have you ever done the late night Medicare Google spiral?!

June is here and I am ready for it! šŸ˜Ž

If you're like most people I talk to, your summer is already starting to take shape. A trip here, a family gathering there, maybe a few weekends you're actually looking forward to.

And somewhere in the middle of all that planning... your Medicare coverage probably didn't make the list.

Totally normal. Honestly, most of the time everything is fine!

But here's what I've seen happen more times than I can count.

Someone heads into summer feeling great about their coverage. Then something comes up. A doctor visit. A prescription refill. An unexpected trip to urgent care. And they find out their plan changed in ways they didn't know about. Their doctor quietly left their network. A medication they've taken for years now costs three times what it used to.

Not because they did anything wrong. Just because nobody told them.

I've been serving Columbia, SC and the surrounding area for 17 years and this is genuinely the most common thing I help people with. Not complicated Medicare questions. Just the small stuff that slips through the cracks when life gets busy.

So this month I'm walking you through everything worth knowing before summer gets going. No jargon. No scary what-ifs. Just clear, honest information so you can enjoy the next few months without anything catching you off guard.

So let me start with the most important question!

When is the last time you actually looked at your Medicare plan?
Within the last month or longer than that?

In reality, delaying Medicare is not good or bad on its own. It depends on why you are delaying and what coverage you have in place while you are still working.

Many people think, ā€œI’m covered through work, so I don’t need to think about Medicare yet.ā€ Sometimes that is true. Other times, there are parts of Medicare that still deserve a closer look or timing decisions that matter more than people expect.

The misunderstanding is thinking there is a single rule that applies to everyone. Medicare timing is more personal than that, especially when work is still part of the picture.
Delaying can be the right choice. It just needs to be an informed one.
Are you more of a rule follower or a ā€œlet’s double check firstā€ kind of person?
