At 65, most Americans are eligible for full Medicare benefits. It should be simple, but transitioning from a commercial or employer group health insurance plan to Medicare can be confusing. There is much to consider regarding your medical coverage when it comes time to retire, and it’s wise to do your research well in advance of turning 65.

And if you are already enrolled in Medicare, it is helpful to review your health plan options against your personal needs each year during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP).
