Common Medicare Mistakes

Avoid preventable problems by paying attention to enrollment timing, drug coverage, provider access, and plan changes.

Missing an enrollment deadline

Enrollment windows can be strict. Delays may create gaps or penalties unless an exception applies.

Ignoring prescription coverage

Formularies and pharmacy networks can change what you pay. Review them even if the medical side of a plan looks attractive.

Assuming last year is this year

Plan details and Medicare costs can change annually. Recheck important facts before relying on last year’s information.

Choosing from a postcard

Mailers and TV ads are marketing, not a comparison. Verify doctors, drugs, and total cost before you enroll.
