Medicare Options - No Fee Advice
Hi, I'm turning 65 soon and would love assistance navigating my options for healthcare - Medicare Advantage, Medicare + Medigap, employer retiree insurance, etc. Supposedly there are many no fee advisors available to discuss options, but I would appreciate finding one who you or a loved one has personally used and recommends. I've searched the archives, but can't find much that is recent. Thanks!

When my father-in-law moved to CA on short notice for my help with his critical health care needs, I turned to HICAP for assistance. This is one of those free services. The counselor I worked with was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I suggest starting with you local HICAP location.
I learned a lot from a website https://themedicarefamily.com/ You can schedule a free appointment with them.
Not sure where you live, but if in Berkeley, the North Berkeley Senior Center (& probably South Center, too) offers free consultations on exactly these questions. The service might not be available year-round.
