With Medicare, it’s important to be prepared

Medicare is the health insurance program run by the federal government that makes it more affordable to pay for health care.

Did you know you shouldn’t wait until your 65th birthday to sign up? If you’re enrolling for the first time for this valuable insurance benefit, your initial enrollment period begins three months before you turn 65.

It is wise to start educating yourself early about Medicare so you choose a plan that works for you. This Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina blog post contains a month-by-month guide to help you prepare for enrollment.
