If someone calls and already knows your name, your age, and your address, that does not make them legitimate. Criminals often start with information they already have and only need one more piece from you.

Medicare-related scam calls have climbed sharply over the past year. Some people report getting dozens in a single day. The pitches are predictable once you know them. Your card is expiring. You qualify for unclaimed benefits. A free brace or hearing aid is on the way.

They all want the same thing: your Medicare number.

A few things to remember: Medicare generally contacts you by mail first and does not call to ask for your Medicare number or bank information. A real licensed agent will give you their name and license number without hesitation, and will not push you to decide today.

If someone claims to be from an agency, hang up and call that agency's main number yourself. Anyone honest will not mind.

Here's something research keeps confirming: older adults often report higher happiness and emotional well-being than people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. And it's not because life gets easier.

Studies suggest older adults get better at managing emotions, recovering from stress faster, and focusing on what actually matters. They also tend to invest more deeply in fewer relationships, rather than spreading themselves thin across many.

The good news? These aren't traits you're born with. They're habits you can start building today, no matter your age.

Try this: spend more time this week with the two or three people who matter most to you. Notice one good thing each day, even a hard one. And let go of comparing your life to anyone else's.

What's one small habit that's made a real difference in your happiness? Share it below, we'd love to hear it. And if you're looking for ways to protect your health and peace of mind at every stage of life, we're here to help.

📬 Keep an eye on your mailbox this September! If you have a Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription drug plan, you should be receiving your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter by September 30th. This letter explains what's changing with your plan starting January 1st — things like your premium, deductible, drug coverage, which doctors or pharmacies are in network, and how benefit coverage is changing.

It's easy to set this letter aside, but taking a few minutes to read through it can save you from surprises come the new year. And if something in your ANOC catches your attention, remember that Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15th through December 7th, giving you time to compare plans and make a change if you need to.

If you have questions about what your ANOC means for you, we're always happy to help walk through it with us and discuss plan options starting October 1. Send us a message or give us a call!

Health care is one of the biggest financial surprises in retirement. Not travel. Not hobbies. Health care.

Medicare helps starting at 65, but it doesn't cover everything. Premiums, deductibles, copays, prescriptions, dental, vision, and hearing aids can all add up.

If you're retiring at 65 or later, Medicare beneficiaries spend about $4,000 a year out of pocket, not counting premiums. That number climbs past $6,000 a year once you reach 85, as health care needs increase.

If you're retiring before 65, budget for a lot more. Without employer coverage, many early retirees turn to the ACA Marketplace, a spouse's plan, or a private policy. A reasonable planning range is:

- $8,000 to $10,000 a year for an individual
- $18,000 to $25,000 a year for a couple

That's before deductibles, copays, and prescriptions, which can add another $2,000 to $5,000 per person each year.

At any retirement age, don't overlook long-term care. Medicare generally covers only short-term skilled nursing after a hospital stay. It doesn't pay for ongoing help with things like bathing, dressing, or eating. Those costs can run from $20k - $100k per year.

A few ways to prepare now:

- Build savings in an HSA if you have a qualified high-deductible plan.

- Look into long-term care insurance before health issues develop, when premiums tend to be lower.

- Consider critical illness coverage, which pays a lump sum after a covered diagnosis and can be used however you need it.

Whether you're retiring at 55, 62, 65, or later, health care costs are one of the few expenses that almost always go up. If you'd like help planning for retirement health costs, we're happy to answer your questions.

And it doesn't stop once your policy is in place! If you ever need to file a claim, having someone in your corner who understands the process makes a stressful situation so much easier. Plus, life changes — new jobs, growing families, moves, retirement — and we're here to revisit your coverage along the way so it keeps up with you.

If you're wondering whether your current coverage still fits your life, let's talk.

Did you know your eye doctor might spot signs of a health issue before your primary doctor does? 👁️ According to clinical guidance from the American Optometric Association, a comprehensive eye exam can help detect signs of more than 270 systemic and chronic health conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure, sometimes before other symptoms even show up.

That's because the blood vessels and nerves in your eyes can reveal a lot about what's going on in the rest of your body. It's a great reminder that eye exams aren't just about updating your glasses prescription; they're an important part of your overall health picture. 🩺

Vision insurance can make it easier to keep up with these routine exams year after year, along with helping cover the cost of glasses or contacts.

When's the last time you had a comprehensive eye exam? If you need vision coverage to get you there, we can help.

Wondering if Medicare covers hearing aids?

Here's what most people don't learn until they're at the checkout counter: Original Medicare (Parts A & B) does NOT cover hearing aids or the exams to fit them. That's been the rule since 1965.

But you're not out of options. Here's where to look:

✅ Medicare Advantage plans — many include a hearing benefit with an allowance toward aids (check the plan details, they vary a lot)

✅ Over-the-counter hearing aids — available without a prescription for mild to moderate loss, often starting around a couple hundred dollars

✅ Medicaid — may cover aids if you're dual-eligible (varies by state)

✅ VA benefits — often cover hearing aids for qualifying veterans

✅ HSA/FSA dollars — pay for aids with pre-tax money

There are a few important hearing support options that Medicare DOES cover: doctor-ordered diagnostic hearing exams, one audiologist visit a year, and surgically implanted devices like cochlear implants, when medically necessary.

One myth to clarify: Medigap doesn't cover hearing aids either, since it only fills gaps in what Original Medicare already pays for.

❓Questions about which path fits your hearing and your budget? Reach out any time - we're happy to help.
