Health Insurance 101
Understanding your health coverage

Health insurance helps protect you from high medical costs by covering services like doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, and preventive care. Most plans work by paying a monthly premium and sharing costs through deductibles and copays when you receive care.

There are different types of coverage, including ACA Marketplace plans, Medicare options, and private health plans — each designed for different needs and life stages. The key is understanding what is covered, what you will pay out of pocket, and which plan best fits your health and budget.

Choosing the right plan can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. I help you compare options, explain everything in simple terms, and find coverage that truly works for you — at no cost to you.

Medicare Guide
Turning 65? Here is what you need to know

If you are approaching your 65th birthday, now is the time to get ready for Medicare so you do not miss important enrollment deadlines. The first step is applying for Medicare Part A and Part B through the Social Security Administration, ideally about 3 months before you turn 65 to avoid delays in your coverage.

Once you are enrolled, you will need to choose the right additional coverage — like Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and prescription drug plans — since Original Medicare does not cover everything.

Every situation is different, and the choices you make now can affect your costs and coverage for years to come. If you are turning 65 soon or already eligible, do not wait until the last minute. Reach out today so I can help you review your options and make the best choice with confidence, at no cost to you.
