Specializing in Medicare plans for seniors and representing all Medicare Supplement plan (Medigap) types.

Colorado Medicare Supplements I moved to Colorado in 1974 and immediately fell in love with the Centennial State. I have always known that Colorado was a great place to live, especially for people who enjoy the great outdoors. It’s hard to beat hiking in the Colorado high country or driving any one of Colorado’s twenty-six scenic byways.

Colorado is also home to some of the best ski resorts in the country and if like me, you enjoy cross-country skiing then places like Grand Mesa National Forest, located on the western slope of Colorado and is the world’s largest flat-topped mountain, has great cross-country skiing.

I was surprised to learn that in a recent study by WalletHub Colorado was listed second only to Florida as the best state for seniors to retire.

Lew Barr is an Independent Insurance agent who specializes in Medicare products for seniors throughout the state of Colorado.

As an independent agent, I have contracted with the most competitive and well-known Medicare Supplement (Medigap) companies in Colorado.

Medicare Supplement Plan F vs Plan G

Medicare Supplement Plan F pays 100% of all Medicare-approved expenses. With Medicare Supplement Plan G, you are responsible for paying the Medicare Part B deductible, which for 2018 is $183.00. After you pay the Medicare Part B deductible, Plan G will pay 100% of all Medicare-approved expenses for the remainder of the calendar year.

The Medicare Part B deductible is an annual deductible, so you will be responsible for paying it once a year before Medicare Plan G will cover its share of Medicare Part B approved expenses.

Enrolling in Medicare at age 65

If you are turning 65 and ready to retire, and have no other creditable coverage, you will need to sign up for Medicare Part A & B. You have a seven-month Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) which begins three months before you turn 65 and includes the month you turn 65 and ends three months after you turn 65. If you are receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A & Part B.

How to Enroll in Medicare Part A & Part B

If you are getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. Your Medicare coverage will start the first day of the month you turn 65. If your birthday is on the first day of the month, it will start on the first day of the prior month. If you are not receiving Railroad or Social Security Retirement Benefits, you need to enroll in Medicare Part A & B yourself. You can sign up online, over the phone or in person at any Social Security office.Read More

Enrolling in Medicare When Working Beyond 65

If you plan to work past 65 or are covered under your spouse’s employer’s plan, ask your employer’s benefits administrator if you are required to sign up for Medicare. If the employer does not require you to sign up for Medicare, you can sign up later without a penalty during a Medicare Special Enrollment Period. In many cases, if you or your spouse’s employer employs fewer than 20 people you will need to sign up for Medicare.Read More
