FAQs for Those Turning 65

  • When should I start planning for Medicare?

    It’s best to start 3–6 months before you turn 65. This gives you enough time to compare plans, understand your options, and make decisions without rushing. Glenn helps make the timeline easy to follow.

  • Do I need to enroll if I’m still working?

    Maybe—but not always. If you have employer coverage, your situation may vary. Glenn can review your benefits and help you decide whether to delay or move forward with Medicare.

  • What’s the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medigap?

    Medicare Advantage is an all-in-one plan that may include extras like vision or dental. Medigap is a separate supplement that helps cover what Original Medicare doesn’t. Glenn will walk you through the pros and cons of both.

  • Can I change my Medicare plan later?

    Yes—there are annual enrollment periods where changes can be made. Glenn keeps you informed of the dates and helps you make adjustments if your needs change.

  • Does Glenn work with specific insurance companies?

    Glenn is an independent broker, which means he works with a variety of trusted carriers. He helps you compare multiple plans to find the one that best fits you—not just what one company offers.
