Medicare FAQs

Depending on who you ask, anywhere between 30-65% of Americans are confused by Medicare. And those numbers usually reflect people already using Medicare.

For people planning ahead and trying to figure out how much they need to save for retirement, including what healthcare might cost them, this confusion can be devastating.

To help answer your most frequently-asked questions, Quorum Partner Dylan O’Shea reached out to Cole Craven, Co-Founder of Move Health, a health insurance planning firm designed to help people wade through the complex landscape of healthcare options so they can find coverage that works for them. They frequently help clients evaluate when to switch to Medicare and how to affordably maximize their coverage.
