What to Do When You Are New to Medicare

If you’re new to Medicare, you have a lot of learning to do and decisions to make.   We're here to help.  Call (844) My Gurus if you need assistance at any time.  

1. Do not wait and put it off or procrastinate. The Medicare experience is a big world, it is a very big subject that can get very complicated quickly. So, the sooner you can start the process the more prepared you will be and the sooner you can relax, with the peace of mind that you are well taken care of. 

2. Do not try to do it by yourself. Reach out and find someone who understands Medicare in detail and works with Seniors every day.  Medicare has many complex options that can require attentive research. You don’t have a whole lot of time so it is very beneficial to find an Advocate that is knowledgeable and has your best interests at heart. 

3. Do not go in with pre-conceived ideas.  The healthcare that you had before Medicare is very different from Medicare so it is very important that you find someone that can guide you through the complications and dispel any misinformation that could accidently put you into a difficult situation. 

The smart thing to do is to reach out to a Medicare Specialist and explain your needs to them. They can listen to your story and when they understand your specific situation they can help guide you to your best outcome. A good advocate can save you months of confusing worry and make the process smooth and efficient. More importantly, they can advise you on your options and help you find the best coverage at the best value.  You can choose what you want and get what you need and understand exactly what you are getting and how it works.
