Dear Marci, 

My sister just went to her doctor for an Annual Wellness Visit and recommended I do the same. I don’t think I’ve had this type of appointment before, though. What is it and what should I expect?

Dear Marci, 

Does Medicare cover depression screenings? I’ve read about how depression is more common in older adults, and I want to be sure I am not missing signs and symptoms.

Dear Marci, 

I just realized I missed my Initial Enrollment Period to enroll in Medicare. What happens if I enroll in Medicare late?

Dear Marci, 

My husband still works, and I am covered by his employer’s insurance. I am turning 65 in a few months and wondering if I should enroll in Medicare?

Dear Marci, 

I mistakenly enrolled in the wrong Medicare Advantage Plan and did not realize until the plan became effective in 2022. When can I change my coverage now?

Dear Marci,

I have been enrolled in the same Part D plan for years. Today I learned that it’s no longer covering a prescription I have been taking. Am I eligible for a transition fill while I figure out what to do next?

Dear Marci,

I am working on my budget for the new year and wondering what my Medicare costs will be in 2022?
