What to avoid

Common Medicare mistakes

Most Medicare problems happen because people make decisions in the wrong order — or assume Medicare works like employer coverage.

Waiting too long to understand enrollment deadlines.

Assuming Medicare automatically includes everything, including drugs.

Letting COBRA or retiree coverage run before enrolling in Medicare.

Choosing a plan before checking your doctors, medications, and travel needs.

Ignoring annual plan changes during the fall enrollment window.

No cost, no pressure
