Medicare can feel confusing—but it doesn’t have to be. 📘

I’ve created a Medicare Education video playlist to help explain the different parts of Medicare, enrollment timelines, coverage options, and many of the common questions people have as they approach age 65.

Whether you are preparing for Medicare yourself or helping a family member, these short videos are designed to make Medicare easier to understand—without getting lost in the alphabet soup. 😊

🎥 Medicare Part B: What does it cover, what does it cost, and when should you enroll?

Medicare Part B is often called the medical insurance portion of Medicare. In this video, I explain how it helps cover services such as:

✅ Doctor and specialist visits
✅ Outpatient care and procedures
✅ Ambulance services when medically necessary
✅ Lab tests, X-rays, and diagnostic screenings
✅ Physical and occupational therapy
✅ Durable medical equipment, including walkers and oxygen equipment
✅ Many preventive services and vaccines
✅ Certain medications administered in a doctor’s office

Part B is not completely free. Most people pay a monthly premium and an annual deductible. With Original Medicare, you generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved cost for covered services after meeting the deductible—and Original Medicare does not have an annual out-of-pocket maximum.

Part B generally does not cover routine dental care, dentures, routine eye exams for glasses, hearing aids, long-term custodial care, or most medications you take at home.

Your Initial Enrollment Period normally lasts seven months: the three months before you turn 65, your birthday month, and the three months afterward. Delaying Part B without qualifying employer coverage could leave you with a coverage gap and a 10% premium penalty for each full 12-month period you were eligible but did not enroll. In most cases, that penalty continues for as long as you have Part B.

Still working at 65? Don’t assume you should enroll—or delay enrollment—without reviewing your employer coverage first. Employer size, current employment, COBRA, retiree coverage, and HSA contributions can all affect the decision.

Liesel and I can help you understand when to enroll and compare your Medicare coverage options. Schedule a free phone, video, or in-person consultation:

🎉 I'm Turning 65 in October... and my Medicare journey has officially begun!

As of this month, I'm in my 7-month Medicare Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)—the window to enroll in Medicare if you want your coverage to begin when you become eligible.

For me, that means:
📅 Enrollment Window: July 1 – January 31
✅ Goal: Have Medicare coverage begin October 1

One thing I've learned is that your Medicare clock starts ticking three months before your birthday month—not on your birthday. Waiting too long can delay your coverage or create unnecessary headaches.

If you're turning 65 soon, or you have a spouse, parent, friend, or coworker who is, understanding your Medicare timeline is one of the most important first steps.

I'd be happy to help you understand:
✔️ When to enroll
✔️ Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage
✔️ Medicare Supplement plans
✔️ Prescription Drug (Part D) plans
✔️ How to avoid costly enrollment mistakes

http🚨 Protect Yourself from Medicare Fraud & Abuse

Medicare fraud can happen anywhere — including right here in Nebraska. A few simple habits can help protect your Medicare benefits, your personal information, and your peace of mind.

✅ Check your Medicare statements and make sure the dates, services, and charges look correct.
✅ Protect your Medicare card and Medicare Number like you would a credit card.
✅ Don’t give out your Medicare Number or Social Security Number to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
✅ Remember: Medicare will never call you to sell you anything or show up at your home uninvited to ask for personal information.
✅ If something looks suspicious, report it.

If you suspect Medicare fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE — 1-800-633-4227 — or report it online through the official Medicare fraud reporting resources.

Thinking about long-term care can feel overwhelming. Particularly when, in general, Medicare does not cover long-term care if that is the only care you need. It’s a stressful "gap" to discover, particularly when you’re trying to plan for a future that preserves yours or a loved one's independence and dignity.
Know that there are several other paths, listed here, you can take to help you get the care you deserve.
*While it doesn't cover long-term residency, Medicare provides limited, short-term support for recovery and hospice care under specific conditions. Ask your local SHIP about skilled nursing facility care, home health care, and/or hospice care.
