Our goal is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your health and finances. Although we may receive compensation from our partner insurance companies, whom we will always identify, all opinions are our own. CoverRight Inc. and CoverRight Insurance Services Inc. (NPN: 19724057) are collectively referred to here as "CoverRight".

When it comes to everything related to Medicare time is not on your side. The clock starts with your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). During this window, until the day you sign up for your coverage, there is a lot to learn about everything related to Medicare. If you miss your IEP you could be subjected to lifelong fines that will be built into your premiums. Your plan choice, for the most part, is a year-long decision so making the best decision for your healthcare is important and is not one that should be made in a rush. 

There is plenty to learn and understand about the Medicare program before selecting a plan for your healthcare. Time is not on your side and starting the process sooner than later will serve you well in the long term.  Questions you will want to ask include:  When is my IEP and what do I have to do to make sure I am signed up correctly?  When can I change plans or switch coverage? And much more. 

CoverRight Founder, Richard Chan, will help you plan your Medicare decision-making process so time is on your side. He will give you the tools to select and evaluate your health coverage. 

You will learn: 

  • When your Initial Enrollment Period starts and how long it lasts
  • Why your Initial Enrollment Period is critical to your long term premiums
  • How annual open enrollment works once you’re on Medicare
  • What do to if you are continuing to work once you’re eligible for Medicare
