Medicare help in Tulsa, Oklahoma
If you live in Tulsa and are turning 65, retiring, or rethinking the coverage you have, you do not have to sort through the mailers and TV ads on your own. I work with Tulsa residents one conversation at a time, starting with your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget.
Turning 65 in Tulsa: what to do and when
- About 6 months before your 65th birthday: list your doctors, prescriptions, and pharmacies, and find out whether any employer coverage will continue.
- 3 months before your birthday month: your 7-month Initial Enrollment Period opens. Sign up for Medicare Parts A and B through Social Security at ssa.gov or 1-800-772-1213, unless you already receive Social Security benefits and are enrolled automatically.
- Choose your path: Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement and a Part D drug plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan.
- After you enroll: review your plan every fall. The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 to December 7.

Medicare options for Tulsa residents
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Works with Original Medicare to help pay deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Your best time to buy is your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Part B.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Private plans approved by Medicare that cover Parts A and B, usually through a provider network. Most include drug coverage. I check that your doctors are in network before you decide.
Part D prescription drug plans
Stand-alone drug coverage for people with Original Medicare. I compare plans using your actual prescriptions and preferred pharmacy.
Compare Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement side by side.
