Most Medicare mistakes aren't dramatic — they're small misses that quietly cost money or coverage. Here's what to watch for.
- Missing your Initial Enrollment Period and triggering a late penalty.
- Auto-renewing the same plan without reviewing this year's changes.
- Assuming a plan covers a medication that's no longer on the formulary.
- Choosing on premium alone instead of total annual cost.
- Not telling your agent about a new doctor, prescription, or move.
