In this essential episode of the Transition to Medicare Podcast, we break down the key milestones and timelines you need to be aware of to transition into Medicare stress-free. Whether you're a few years away or just months before turning 65, understanding when and how to enroll in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or Medigap can save you time and avoid unnecessary stress.

We'll guide you through different stages—from 10 years before turning 65 to the months immediately preceding your birthday. Learn about the critical periods for enrolling in Medicare Part A and Part B, the implications of the IRMAA based on your income, and the advantages of different plans such as Medicare Advantage or Medigap. Plus, find out how to navigate changes if you're enrolled in employer group health insurance and how to compare it with Medicare options effectively.
