Episode Description
In this episode of the Team Senior Podcast, host Jamie Callahan sits down with Medicare expert Debbie Hodgson to demystify one of the most important—and often confusing—topics for older adults: Medicare.

Debbie has been helping people navigate Medicare for over a decade, representing multiple insurance organizations to ensure her clients get unbiased guidance tailored to their unique needs. Together, Jamie and Debbie cover:

• The differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medigap
• What’s covered (and what isn’t) under Medicare
• Common mistakes and misconceptions people make when enrolling
• How enrollment periods really work—and what happens if you miss them
• Assistance programs like SHIBA and how they can help
• Why reviewing your plan each year is essential

Whether you’re nearing retirement, already on Medicare, or supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you make informed decisions.
