Medicare Enrollment: Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
When first enrolling in Medicare, many people choose Medicare Advantage because it looks affordable and includes extra perks. However, as health needs change, they often discover limited provider access, higher denial rates, and extra authorization hurdles.
Christine from Move Health explains that your initial Medicare decision can impact you for life—switching later to traditional Medicare with a Medigap plan may require medical underwriting. For those who value flexibility and broad access to care, starting with traditional Medicare can save significant costs long term.
She also stresses the importance of reviewing your coverage each year during open enrollment. Most retirees overpay for Part D drug plans simply because they never reevaluate them.
Through their partnership with Provista Wealth Advisors, Move Health helps clients compare plans, review costs, and make informed choices—all while keeping advisors updated so healthcare costs fit seamlessly into their financial plans.
