Medicare enrollment has strict windows. Missing them can mean permanent premium penalties and gaps in coverage.
Your Initial Enrollment Period begins. Start comparing Medicare Advantage and Supplement options now so you're ready to enroll on time.
Medicare Parts A and B become available. If you're still on employer coverage, coordinate carefully to avoid gaps or penalties.
Your IEP closes. Missing this window without creditable coverage means a 10% Part B premium penalty for each 12-month period delayed.
Annual Enrollment Period — you can switch Medicare Advantage or Part D plans each year. Review your plan even if it's been working well.
Still on employer coverage at 65? If your employer has fewer than 20 employees, Medicare becomes primary and you likely need to enroll to avoid a penalty. If 20+, your employer plan stays primary and you can delay Part B without penalty. A broker helps you navigate this decision correctly.
| Feature | Medicare Advantage (Part C) | Medicare Supplement (Medigap) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Premium | Often $0–$50 (carrier pays from Medicare) | $100–$300+ depending on plan & age |
| Network | Restricted network (HMO or PPO) | Any provider accepting Medicare nationwide |
| Out-of-Pocket Max | Varies by plan; legally capped annually | Plans G/N cover most costs above Part B deductible |

| Rural Nevada Use | Network gaps can be problematic in rural counties | Excellent — any Medicare-accepting provider |
| Extra Benefits | Often includes dental, vision, hearing, gym | Standardized — no extra benefits |
| Best Fit | Urban Nevada; healthy beneficiaries; low budget | Rural Nevada; frequent travelers; predictable costs |
Rural Nevada note: Medicare Advantage plans use defined service areas and provider networks. In rural counties, Advantage plan networks may be limited or unavailable. Medigap plans — which allow you to see any Medicare-accepting provider anywhere in the country — are often the more practical choice for rural Nevada residents.
Part D is standalone prescription drug coverage available to Medicare beneficiaries. If you choose Original Medicare + a Medigap plan, you need a separate Part D plan. Medicare Advantage plans usually include drug coverage.
Starting in 2025, Medicare Part D has a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket maximum for covered drugs — a significant protection for beneficiaries with high medication costs.
Each Part D plan has a formulary — a list of covered drugs organized into cost tiers. Before enrolling, verify your specific medications are on the formulary at an affordable tier.
If you don't enroll in Part D when first eligible and go without creditable drug coverage, you'll pay a permanent 1% monthly penalty for each month you delayed. Don't skip this.
