136: Understanding Medicare for Expats – Danielle Roberts


Listen Later

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Danielle Roberts, a Medicare expert and the co-founder of Boomer Benefits, a licensed insurance agency that helps baby boomers navigate their entry into Medicare in 48 states. She and her team have helped more than 50,000 Medicare beneficiaries make their transition to Medicare at retirement. She is also the author of the best-selling book 10 Costly Medicare Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make, which helps beneficiaries avoid critical but all too common Medicare pitfalls.  
 
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
  • Why every American should sign up for Medicare when the time comes
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to apply for Medicare
  • Why it’s essentially important to understand what the heck Part C, Part A, Part B are, and when to register
  • Are you confused about what you are entitled to?
  • Do the rules and regulations boggle your mind?
  • The difference between supplemental insurance abroad and your Medicare coverage
  • What happens when you don’t apply for Medicare at age 65, (listen to the horror stories of those that didn’t apply)
  • What if I don’t sign up until I’m 70? What can I expect?
  • For international health insurance check out this company for expats and digital nomads
  • And a ton more!

        CONCLUSION
        As more and more people leave the US for warmer climates, fewer taxes or to just travel and see the world, the question of Medicare continues to be asked. As a Canadian, I'm not really familiar with Medicare, so I asked the expert, Danielle Roberts to come on and explain everything about this rather confusing insurance program solely for Americans. I know you'll get a ton of great information and help, listening to this podcast.
        If you have family or friends that are thinking of moving overseas and are 60 or more in age, please share this episode with them, they will be grateful you did.

        Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

        This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
