Everything you need to know about All Stages Insurance
You are initially eligible to enroll in Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period
(IEP). This is a 7-month window that begins 3 months before the month you turn 65,
includes your birthday month, and ends 3 months after your birthday month.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare and often includes built-in
prescription drug coverage and extra benefits like dental and vision. A Medicare
Supplement (Medigap) plan works alongside Original Medicare to help cover out-of-pocket
costs like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
No, our advisory and enrollment services are completely free to you. We are compensated
directly by the insurance carriers if you choose to enroll in a plan through us. Your
premium is exactly the same as if you enrolled directly with the carrier.
Yes, but generally only during specific times. The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs
from October 15 to December 7 each year. You may also qualify for a Special Enrollment
Period (SEP) outside of those dates if you experience certain life events, like moving
to a new state or losing employer coverage.
If you decide to stay with Original Medicare (or pair it with a Medigap plan), you will
typically need to purchase a standalone Part D plan to avoid late enrollment penalties.
If you choose a Medicare Advantage plan, most already include built-in prescription drug
coverage.
If you or your spouse are actively working and you have creditable health coverage
through that employer, you can often delay enrolling in Medicare Part B without penalty.
We can help you compare your employer coverage to Medicare to see which makes the most
financial sense for you.
Nevada Health Link is the state’s official health insurance marketplace where
individuals and families can compare and purchase Qualified Health Plans (QHPs). It also
determines
eligibility for premium tax credits and subsidies, helping many Nevadans lower their
monthly costs.
Nevada Health Link is available to Nevada residents who do not have access to affordable
employer coverage. It also screens applicants for Medicaid eligibility and provides
enrollment pathways for those who qualify. Individuals can enroll during Open Enrollment
(Nov. 1-Jan. 15) or year-round if they experience a Qualifying Life Event such as losing
coverage, moving, getting married, or turning 26.
Many Nevadans qualify for premium tax credits or cost-sharing reductions based on
household
income. Even if someone has employer coverage, they may still qualify for assistance if
the
employer plan is considered unaffordable (costing 9.02% or more of household income).
Family
members may also qualify even if the employee’s coverage is affordable.
