Medicare Guides & Checklists

This page offers four printable Medicare PDFs, and it shows an honest list of what is inside each one before you ask for it: a Turning-65 checklist for plan year 2026, a Plan G versus Plan N comparison drawn from the official CMS benefit chart, an Annual Enrollment prep sheet built around the October 15 – December 7 window, and a Working Past 65 guide covering the employer-size rule, the eight-month special enrollment period, and forms CMS-40B and CMS-L564.

To get one, you give an email address and tick a consent box. That box says what you are agreeing to: one email with your download link, no phone calls, no mailing list, and your information is never sold. The PDF then streams from a private, tokened link rather than a public file, and a copy of the link goes to your inbox so you can come back to it.

What it will not do: it does not quote a premium, compare carriers, check whether your doctor or prescription is covered, or enroll you in anything. The guides are educational only and are not legal, tax, or insurance advice. Dollar amounts inside reflect plan year 2026 and change every year.

Next: download whichever guide matches your situation, or work through the interactive version of the same material on this site. Questions about your own dates, doctors, and drugs are better answered by a licensed advisor, or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
