DFCU
An admirer of both Charles Hoff and of Boomer Health Group introduced us. Charles is the Member Financial Education Counselor at DFCU and runs quite a show. He has his hands full of classes on topics ranging from Estate Planning, Debt-Free Living and.... our favorite, Medicare!

64.5….
Age 64.5. We get a lot of questions like "when's the best time to learn about Medicare?" Our answer is pretty simple. At age 65, every person that arrives at age 65, needs to make some decision about Medicare enrollment.

So, I walked through my rather normal …
Medicare & You Handbook – 2019
Not many people get excited about the new handbook like we silly Medicare Guru's do! But, it's out. In fact, I was speaking with a gentleman over the phone yesterday who was referred to us. Here's our conversation in a nutshell. "So and so attended your class and suggested I call you." "excellent - you have a medicare advantage plan... how did you come to choose that?"

The confusion is costly…
A financial advisor called our line today for some help. His clients have Tricare for Life coverage. Awesome coverage that acts like a Medigap plan for these folks. Ideal. When we run into Tricare for Life we say "good for you, enjoy and have a good life". Well, another agent didn't do that. When these two turned 65 (they are now 70 and 72), an agent gave them a Plan G with a large carrier …
