About Get Started With Medicare

About this independent Medicare education website and how it helps visitors prepare for Medicare decisions.
Our Purpose
Get Started With Medicare is an independent educational website built to help people understand Medicare basics, enrollment timing, coverage paths, costs, and the questions to ask before comparing coverage.
Independent Education
This website is not Medicare.gov, CMS, or a government website. It does not enroll visitors in Medicare plans and does not recommend specific plans.
Who This Site Helps
The site is written for people turning 65, retirees, people already on Medicare, caregivers helping a parent, veterans, and people trying to understand how Medicare coordinates with other coverage.
How to Use the Site
Start with the Medicare Navigator or Medicare University, read the guide that matches your situation, verify official rules with Medicare.gov or SHIP, and request licensed help only when you want plan-related guidance where available.
