Approaching Retirement as a Senior Turning 65 in Richmond County

Whether you’re ready to retire or still working towards it Medicare is ready to help you when you turn 65. We help all people turning 65, including Veterans which account for 8 million of the Medicare population.

What to do when you’re retiring

Retirement is your biggest career milestone, bringing you new freedoms, new routines, and new questions about your health care. If you’re preparing to retire in Richmond County, the decisions you make now can shape your quality of life for years to come. TrustInsure is here to help you make those choices with confidence.

Many retirees in our area are asking:

  • Do I need to enroll in Medicare now, or can I wait?
  • How do Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans compare?
  • What happens to my spouse’s coverage if I retire?
  • Can I keep seeing my doctor?
  • How much will this cost each month?

     

These aren’t just insurance questions but rather personal questions. That’s why we take time to get to know your goals, your family situation, and your budget before recommending a plan. Whether you’re retiring from a local business, public service, or self-employment, we help you understand how your employer coverage, Social Security, and Medicare all fit together.

You don’t need to sort through this alone. We’re based right here in Moore County and know the Richmond County landscape; The plans available, the local providers who accept them, and how to avoid common missteps. If you’re turning 65 or planning to retire soon, let’s talk through what comes next so you can focus on the life you’re building — not the paperwork.

Veterans Retiring And Medicare Eligible

If you’re a veteran retiring in Richmond County, it’s important to know that you may still be eligible — and strongly encouraged — to enroll in Medicare, even if you have VA benefits.

Many veterans assume that VA health care replaces Medicare. But the truth is, Medicare can work alongside your VA coverage to give you more flexibility, more provider options, and greater peace of mind. With both, you can:

  • Get care at non-VA facilities without prior authorization
  • Access local specialists and hospitals in Richmond County
  • Avoid delays in treatment when VA wait times are high
  • Ensure consistent coverage when traveling or moving

     

Even if you’re happy with your VA care, enrolling in Medicare Part A is usually free and adds a layer of protection. Enrolling in Part B may require a monthly premium, but it opens up access to doctors outside the VA system — which can be critical as your health needs change.

We’re grateful for your service to our nation and want to help you understand how to coordinate benefits without paying for more than you need. We’ll walk you through how Medicare Advantage, Medigap, or a Part D prescription plan can complement your current benefits — and when the best time to enroll is.

You served our country. Now let us serve you with honest, local guidance on how Medicare fits into your life after service.

Living with a Disability when you need Medicare for ESRD and ALS

If you or your spouse are living with a qualifying disability like End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or ALS, Medicare may provide early and expanded coverage options. You might be Medicare eligible and there are plans designed to support specialized treatment, coordinated care, and prescription needs.

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in Richmond County

Residents diagnosed with ESRD face complex care needs. Dialysis, transplant preparation, and frequent medical visits, and since 2021 Medicare Advantage plans are now available to those with ESRD. This has created more options for tailored, local care.

We help you:

  • Evaluate local dialysis centers and specialist access
  • Understand costs and coverage differences between plans
  • Identify if a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP) fits your needs

ALS and Immediate Medicare Access

For Richmond County residents with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Medicare coverage begins as soon as disability benefits start with no waiting period. We guide you through the details, including:

  • Choosing between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage
  • Understanding DME (durable medical equipment) coverage
  • Selecting drug plans that support ALS-specific prescriptions and therapy

Understanding Medicare in Richmond County

From Part A and Part B to Medigap and Medicare Advantage, understanding how each piece fits together is the key to getting the most from your benefits. We simplify the complex, and help you compare local plans in Richmond County.

We’ll help you through:

  • How Original Medicare works and where it leaves gaps
  • Whether supplemental insurance (Medigap) is right for you
  • Local plan networks and how they affect your provider access

Prescription Drug Coverage and Part D

Even if you choose Original Medicare, prescription drug coverage isn’t automatic. Part D plans can vary widely in Richmond County. We help you:

    • Choose a plan that covers your current prescriptions
    • Avoid coverage gaps or penalties for enrolling late
    • Compare monthly premiums vs. out-of-pocket costs

Medicare Advantage Plans in Richmond County

Medicare Advantage plans offer all-in-one coverage — but they aren’t all created equal. Richmond County has access to several Advantage plans, including HMO, PPO, and Special Needs Plans.

We help you:

  • Compare benefits beyond Original Medicare, like dental or vision
  • Identify plans with strong local networks
  • Understand referrals, prior authorizations, and coverage rules

Prescription Drug Coverage with Advantage Plans

Most Medicare Advantage plans include drug coverage — but formularies (drug lists) vary. We’ll help you:

  • Confirm that your medications are covered
  • Check for tiered pricing or prior authorization requirements
  • Align your Advantage plan with both primary care and pharmacy needs
