Helping Your Loved Ones Navigate Medicare with Confidence

Medicare Made Simple

When a loved one approaches age 65, the world of Medicare suddenly becomes an important — and often overwhelming — part of the conversation.

As adult children, spouses, caregivers, or trusted friends, we often step in to help our loved ones understand and choose the right Medicare coverage. But with countless plan options, enrollment windows, and unfamiliar terminology, the process can quickly become confusing.

At BoomerCare Health Solutions, we believe Medicare should be simple, supportive, and stress-free — not a maze of frustration. Here's how you can help your loved ones make informed decisions and gain peace of mind for their golden years.

🧭 1. Understand the Basics First

Before diving into plan options, make sure everyone is clear on what Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D cover — and what they don’t.

• Part A: Hospital insurance

• Part B: Medical insurance (doctor visits, outpatient care)

• Part C: Medicare Advantage Plans — an all-in-one alternative

• Part D: Prescription drug coverage

Also, it’s important to know that Medicare doesn’t cover everything — like routine dental, vision, and hearing services. That’s where supplemental insurance or bundled Advantage plans come in.

📅 2. Know the Key Enrollment Periods

Missing deadlines can lead to penalties and coverage delays. Make sure you and your loved one understand:

• Initial Enrollment Period: Begins 3 months before the 65th birthday and lasts for 7 months.

• Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): October 15 – December 7

• Special Enrollment Periods: Triggered by specific life changes (retirement, relocation, etc.)

💬 3. Ask Questions That Uncover Real Needs

Everyone’s situation is unique. Consider:

• Are there doctors or specialists they want to keep?

• Are their prescriptions expensive or complex?

• Do they spend part of the year in another state?

• What’s their financial comfort zone when it comes to premiums and out-of-pocket costs?

These details matter when choosing between Medigap, Medicare Advantage, or stand-alone Part D plans.

👥 4. Work with a Trusted, Independent Advisor
