A clear introduction to Parts A, B, C and D and the role each one plays in your coverage.
Your first enrollment window around age 65, how long it lasts, and what happens if you miss it.
What to consider before leaving employer coverage, and how the two fit together in the meantime.
How Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplements differ in everyday use.
Where Part D fits, why formularies and pharmacies matter, and the late-enrollment penalty to avoid.
A practical checklist for comparing your needs, followed by time to ask your own questions.
