Do I need Medicare if I am still working?

It depends on employer size and whether the coverage is creditable. Many people at larger employers can delay Part B without a penalty. Confirm with your benefits office before you assume.

Is Medicare Advantage the same as a Supplement?

No. They are different ways of receiving coverage. See the Advantage vs. Supplement guide for a side-by-side comparison.

Can this website enroll me in a plan?

No. This site is educational. Enrollment, when appropriate, uses carrier- or upline-approved processes after a licensed review and any required Scope of Appointment.
