New health insurance territory for me.
My husb is retiring in November of this year. I was on his group health insurance plan. I called the SSA to see about enrolling in Part B Medicare, as I will be losing coverage when my husband retires. The rep informed me that I will automatically be enrolled in Part B Medicare once I turn 65, which is in a couple of months. The timing is perfect; my Medicare will take effect 11/1 - which is my husb retirement date.
I was thinking about signing up for one of the Advantage plans. However, after reading a few SF posts, I think I will pass. I was on the phone with a rep the other day, and for some reason, I felt uncomfortable. I'm glad I went with my gut instinct. However, I will need a supplement to cover dental and vision. What do you guys recommend? My husb will need health coverage as well. He will not reach 65 until 2 and 1/2 years.
