Navigating Medicare Coverage

The Secure Retirement Method Podcast

On this week’s episode of The Secure Retirement Podcast, we focus on healthcare coverage, particularly Medicare Parts A - D, as we continue to address the key issues that affect members of the Florida Retirement System. With Medicare available from coast to coast, the information in this episode will be valuable to our listeners nationally, even for those outside of the Florida Retirement System.

• Enrollment windows and when to make your decision
• The delayed impact of IRMAA - Income Related Monthly Adjusted Amount
• Staying updated with the annual changes and increases
• And more
