Turning 65 in Norman: what to do first

For Norman residents getting ready for Medicare, the main question is usually which Medicare Supplement plan letter fits, and when to buy it. Jeff Spitler is a licensed agent based in Edmond who works with people across the metro by phone.

The window that matters most: Medigap Open Enrollment

Your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Open Enrollment Period is a one-time, 6-month window. It starts the first month you are 65 or older and have Medicare Part B. During it, a company can't refuse to sell you any Medigap policy it offers in Oklahoma and can't charge you more because of pre-existing health problems. After it ends, you may not be able to buy a policy, or it may cost more.

Plan letters are the same everywhere

Medicare Supplement benefits are standardized by federal law, so a Plan G from one company has the same benefits as a Plan G from another. What differs is the premium and how it can change over time. That makes it easier to compare during your open enrollment window. Read Plan G vs. Plan N and what affects supplement costs.

Next steps

1. Confirm your Part A and Part B start dates with Social Security or Medicare.gov.
2. Mark your 6-month Medigap window, which starts with Part B once you are 65.
3. Compare Medicare Supplement plan letters and add Part D drug coverage.
4. If a supplement premium doesn't fit your budget, we can also review Medicare Advantage plans I offer.
