    Medicare Myths - May 30, 2025
    May 30 2025
    This week's "Coffee with Cortney" focuses on navigating Medicare benefits and dispelling common myths surrounding Medicare enrollment and coverage options. Cortney Dale explains that contrary to popular belief, turning 65 doesn't necessarily mean individuals must enroll in Medicare immediately. The discussion emphasizes individualized timelines for enrollment based on personal circumstances, helping retirees to avoid penalties and ensuring decisions best fit personal and financial needs. Cortney provides an insightful guide on the flexibility around Medicare plans, offering practical advice and solutions to align with attendees’ retirement plans.

    Additionally, the podcast tackles the misconceptions related to Medicare and supplemental insurance plans. It stresses the importance of supplementing Medicare parts A and B, which cover only a portion of medical expenses, leaving gaps that require additional coverage for prescriptions, dental, vision, and other needs. Cortney dispels myths about supplemental coverage, such as Plan G being different among providers, and highlights that plans provide uniform coverage across accepted providers.
