Prior to signing up for Medicare in March of this year, Matt 's videos were very helpful to me, some I watched more than once. All of them taught me how to navigate Medicare effectively. I'm still watching Matt !. thanks.

Thanks for the video, Matthew. Fortunately, I was already receiving SS when I turned 65 so I was auto-enrolled in Medicare this past April. I spoke to Jordan in your office about a month ago since my spouse will be turning 65 in April 2025. I wanted to get some preliminary numbers since we'll both be on a Supplement next year. She was very friendly, helpful and informative and gave me some options to think about for when I talk to her again in January about both our Supplement options.

Thank you for producing this video. I will be applying for Medicare coverage starting March 1, 2025 (I will turn age 65 during that month), but do not expect to apply for Social Security benefits until I reach my full retirement age of 67. Your video was very helpful in showing first time Medicare applicants how to apply for medical coverage without accidentally applying for Social Security as well. Glad I watched your video several weeks before starting the application process online! 26:00

Thank you. I do have a question though. I declined Part B for now but would like to start it when I turn 65 (on SSDI), do you know how I would go about that? Is it through SS website or Medicare website or somewhere else?

I turned 66 April 16th of this year. I started an online application for Medicare 3rd week of April because I planned to leave my job May 9th. I haven't submitted my application so I have a verification number for when I return to complete the form. I'm not applying for SS benefits just yet. When I went back to the form, it says they'll use the date I started my application and should submit it by Oct. 19 or i won't have my Medicare benefits. The thing is, my husband who turned 70 this Sept. said he'll continue to work so I still have health insurance coverage. Is there a way to cancel the online application? Or I'll just let it expire and apply when my husband leaves his job? There's no option to cancel.

Thank you for making all these videos, so helpful!!! In carefully listening to your advice/guidance, I have never heard you say the money paid toward the deductible amount is only good for 2 months. It then gets flushed somewhere, then starts over at $0 paid. Every two months any medical services have to paid in full out of pocket. Is this true?

I'm retired from civil service and continued my FEHB. I'm paying close to $800 a month for my wife and I. Would it be better to drop this coverage and just get the supplemental plan? It has to be cheaper, right?
