In this episode of The Medicare Minute, Kevin shares the most common — and costly — Medicare mistakes people make during open enrollment. From missing deadlines to assuming coverage is automatic, this conversation is packed with practical reminders that could save seniors stress and money.
He covers key pitfalls like:
Forgetting to enroll in Part B or D on time
Confusing COBRA with credible coverage
Assuming Medicare Advantage is “free”
Failing to check whether your doctor’s network has changed
Kevin also stresses the importance of reviewing your plan annually, planning ahead, and speaking with a licensed expert — not just friends or family — before making decisions.
If you’re helping a loved one navigate Medicare this fall, this is an episode to share and save.
