"My husband and I needed to start Medicare parts B and D not during open enrollment but mid-year when he retired and our company insurance discontinued. Mr. Gray was very helpful and made the transition very easy. Much appreciated!"

Medicare Care Compare profileFrequently Asked Questions
When should I start preparing for Medicare before turning 65 in Palm Coast?
Start preparing 4–6 months before your 65th birthday. This gives you time to review your current coverage, research plan options, confirm your doctors accept Medicare, review your medications for Part D, and enroll in Part B before your birthday month to ensure coverage starts on time. William recommends scheduling a consultation 4–5 months before your birthday.
What should I do with my current insurance before turning 65 in Palm Coast?
Review your current insurance — employer coverage, retiree coverage, COBRA, or VA benefits — and determine whether it qualifies as creditable coverage that allows you to delay Medicare Part B without penalty. Do not cancel your current coverage until your Medicare coverage is confirmed active. William reviews your current coverage situation in your pre-65 consultation.
Should I sign up for Medicare at 65 even if I am still working in Palm Coast?
It depends on your employer size and coverage type. If your employer has 20 or more employees, your employer coverage is primary and you may be able to delay Part B without penalty. If your employer has fewer than 20 employees, Medicare is primary and you should enroll in Part B at 65. Getting this wrong can result in permanent penalties. William advises on the exact rules for your situation.
How do I find out which Medicare plans are available in Palm Coast before I turn 65?
William compares every Medicare Advantage plan and Medigap carrier available in Palm Coast ZIP codes 32137 and 32164 for your specific doctors, medications, and budget. He presents your options clearly so you can make an informed decision before your enrollment window opens.
