    To qualify for Medicare in Michigan, you must be age 65 and have paid into Medicare taxes for at least 40 quarters, or be/have been the spouse of someone who did. Disabled persons may qualify for Medicare after two years of receiving Social Security benefits. There are other situations where someone in Michigan may qualify for Medicare, such as having ESRD, ALS, being railroad worker, being a government worker, etc. See Medicare.gov for the fine tuned details.

    For most people, when they turn age 65 in Michigan they will get Medicare Part A & B automatically.  If you are still working you will want to speak to your benefits department to see if you should postpone your Medicare Part B while you are working.  Once you activate your Medicare Part B and turn 65 that gives you an open enrollment period so you can choose any Medicare Supplement you like without health underwriting questions.

    We have helped many people in Michigan compare benefits between employer and what's available in the market.  Often times you can get equal to or more comprehensive coverage for less money.  Medicare along with a Medicare Supplement is great health insurance.

    Working with an independent agent will save you a lot time and help you look at everything that is available to you.  It will make the process seem much less complicated having a professional to help compare whats available.

    You can Compare Michigan Medicare Supplement Plans instantly on our website at SummitMedigap.com.  You can also give us a call at 1-888-407-8664.
