Quick questions

Costs, sign-up dates and plan changes.

See every answer
Does it cost anything to use an independent agent?

No. Oakmere is paid a commission by the insurance company you choose, so the review, the quote and the yearly check-in cost you nothing extra.

When can I sign up for Medicare?

Your Initial Enrollment Period runs for seven months: the three months before the month you turn 65, that month, and the three months after.

Can I change my Medicare plan later?

Yes, during the Annual Enrollment Period, 15 October – 7 December, and in some other situations. Oakmere reviews your plan with you every autumn.
