Good video but was also expecting a walk-through on how to sign up for Medicare on line and not so much time spent on late signup or delaying sign up. Title is a bit misleading when you say step-by-step, nothing was covered on step by step basis on signing up.

[@christineparker3805]

I love how you explain so plainly 😍

[@normansmith395]

Love the menu system for sharing specific information to friends

[@dianahay2473]

10/18/2023. After seeing this video I figured I must be able to sign in for Medicare benefits. My birthday is not till February. I went to my SSA account. Couldn't find the Medicare button. After signing out it is before you sign into your Social Security account( upper right corner). It has me sign in later. It also warned me that if I started 10/18. I have to complete it by 4/18/24 or I lose Medicare😂 the process was simple. It pretty much went by my Social Security account. How to check progress I go to Social Security account. It's being reviewed. Thank you for this video

[@julieboltz7887]

very informative thanks

[@dizzysfan]

Thank you for your clear explanations of Medicare. I was so confused all these months leading to my 65th birthday due to the amount of offers from health insurance companies. I knew I didn’t have to enroll in Medicare yet because I’m still working fulI time. I turned 65 April 16th. I work full time at a big hospital so I have health insurance from my employer and I contribute to HSA too. I also have health insurance from my husband’s employer because he’s still working full time. He is a veteran having served in the USN for 20 yrs. I was ineligible for Tricare prime when I turned 65. I will stop my HSA contributions in November and then apply for Medicare and Tricare for Life after I leave my job on my FRA. I hope I got everything straightened up.

[@JanetVaughn-cm3et]

EXTREMELY valuable information on all your videos. I will be getting a SEP in April 2024 from the POST OFFICE under a new PSHB reform plan that is still in progress but will be effective 1/1/2025. This will be for part B enrollment &will be penality free. Once I get that I'll be contacting you to get a Suppliment plan, as I do not want to participate any further in ANY health plans that this new plan might offer. Thanks for such clear, informative, & understandable videos to help us all make a decision as to which way to go for a better decision on our future health care options. Plus the ways to avoid HUGE mistakes in doing so.

[@ricardomarmol1257]

Very excited. I can't wait to get my Medicare number. To call you guys. You guys are great. Love your Medicare classes on you tube. Matt C . It is very clear and easy to follow and understand his classes. Congratulations 👏 doing a great job.

Thank you so much Ricardo. We look forward to hearing from you.

[@somewhereinthemidwest9827]

I’m 64. I want to start my SS in January 2024. I’ll turn 65 in May 2024. When do I sign up for SS and Medicare? I was hoping to carry COBRA from Feb to May but I think you said that COBRA is not count as creditable coverage. Help. I’m so confused!

[@MedigapSeminars]

you are very welcome

[@forwimp]

Wow! This seems to be the most complete and factual information I've found about working and having group insurance after age 65. I even called the local Social Security office and got an answer, but the guy didn't seem very confident about it.

[@MedigapSeminars]

Thank you!😀

[@carolemarlowe2945]

Very useful and important information to understand before starting the Medicare application. Thank you for posting.

[@MedigapSeminars]

You are very welcome!

Thank you for this video, it was SO helpful and easy to follow with your menu.

[@MedigapSeminars]

You are so welcome!

[@thomasmetz7283]

Very informative 🎉

[@MedigapSeminars]

Thank you. I have even more - including articles at medigapseminars.org/

[@cherylolivieri6190]

Excellent information. I am a contractor and receive health and welfare benefits in each pay check. I opted not to take their health insurance and looked for my own which the H&W benefits pay for. I understand those benefits will still be available to myself when I am on Medicare A and B. I will be using that benefit money to payt for my Medicare part B. Is this okay?

[@akramghazal]

Thank you 1000 times 👍

[@MedigapSeminars]

You are very welcome

[@danalang7452]

Where or how do you note the date you want Medicare Part B to become effective? For instance, I am currently covered by employer insurance, retiring effective 2/28/23. I already have Part A. I would send in the Medicare application on Dec. 1, 2022. I don't see a place on the form to mark the effective start date other than in the remarks. Also, does the employer complete their form using the end date of coverage as your retirement date? Thanks. Very helpful video!

[@pilarskifamily899]

😮 I am shocked about the creditable coverage requirement. What if i am not working? My husband is self employed and we dont see the need to throw monthly ridiculous sums at insurance companies to pay their CEO millions.

[@jchebasnyc]

HI, thank you for the information. I will be turning 65 on July 30th, so I should apply on April 1st? Three months before?

[@sureshbaral1970]

Thanks for these videos on Medicare. Really helpful. I and my spouse are both 65+. We didn’t enroll in Medicare during our IEP. But we have creditable coverage from my employer. Would like to enroll in Medicare Part A for 2023. What is the enrollment period for us? What dates? Thanks.

[@MedigapSeminars]

If you have creditable coverage you can enroll in Part B at any time. Doing so creates your own private Special enrollment period

[@user-nn5me8eu1k]

You have explained how to sign up for medicare but when do I sign up for supplemental and Part D insurance?

[@florenceb9942]

Great information about Medicare. Keep up the good work Why is there a penalty when you don’t sign up for part A. Thank you

[@MedigapSeminars]

If you have earned your Part A through 10-years of Medicare payroll tax, there is no late Penalty for Part A

[@jogmas12]

I don’t have employer sponsored health insurance but instead have private insurance. I’ll be applying for Medicare in September, three months prior to my 65th birthday. I’m not currently collecting SS

[@catf53]

I am turning 65 in April. I do not currently have health insurance. I'm assuming that I will sign up for A&B?? Do I have choices for insurance companies? Or am I just assigned to a plan? Thanks for any help

[@davidlong2048]

Like the menue system. Does it matter to get a broker in my state or it doesn't matter?

[@mellisssoave2432]

Thank you for the videos Matthew, this was most helpful in re: to “credible coverage”. My question for you is do I have to do anything if 1) I started collecting SS benefits at 62. I will be 65 in May of 24. 2) I have the 40 quarters paying into Medicare and I have credible coverage via my wife with prescription coverage. Based on your video I will be enrolled automatically and don’t need part b or part d. Am I correct in my assessment? Thank you !

[@mpg314]

Do I have to enroll in person at the SS office?
