When should I enroll in Medicare?

Your Initial Enrollment Period generally begins 3 months before you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and continues for 3 months after your birthday month. If you are still working and covered by qualifying group health coverage based on current employment, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. Your enrollment timing depends on your circumstances.

What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?

Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an alternative way to receive Medicare benefits through a private Medicare-approved plan and may include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits. Medicare Supplement insurance, also called Medigap, works with Original Medicare to help pay certain Medicare cost-sharing expenses. The two types of coverage work differently and may fit different healthcare and financial needs.

Do I have to pay for Kidwell Insurance Services?

There is no direct fee to clients for our insurance guidance and enrollment assistance. Insurance carriers generally compensate licensed agents when a client enrolls in a plan they represent. Carrier compensation does not increase the plan's premium.

Can I switch Medicare plans?

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to change Medicare coverage during certain enrollment periods. The Medicare Annual Election Period generally runs from October 15 through December 7 each year. Medicare Advantage enrollees may also have certain opportunities to make changes during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 through March 31. Other Special Enrollment Periods may apply.

What if my doctors are not in the plan's network?

Before enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan, it is important to verify that your doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers participate in the specific plan's network. Network rules vary by plan. Medicare Supplement insurance works with Original Medicare, which generally allows you to see any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, subject to Medicare's rules.

Types of Life Insurance We Offer

Term Life Insurance

The most affordable way to get significant coverage. Term life insurance pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy term (typically 10, 20, or 30 years). It's a popular choice for parents, homeowners, and anyone who wants strong protection during their highest-need years without a high price tag.

Best for: Young families, mortgage protection, income replacement, budget-conscious buyers.

Whole Life Insurance

Permanent, lifelong coverage that never expires as long as premiums are paid. Whole life insurance also builds cash value over time, which you can borrow against or use later in life.

Best for: Long-term estate planning, leaving a guaranteed inheritance, building cash value alongside protection.

Universal Life Insurance

A flexible permanent policy that lets you adjust your premium payments and death benefit as your life changes, while still building cash value.

Best for: People who want lifelong coverage with more flexibility than whole life offers.

Final Expense Insurance

A smaller, simplified policy designed to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses — so your family isn't left with the bill.

Best for: Seniors and anyone who wants to ease the financial burden on loved ones.

How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but a good starting point is to consider:

Income replacement — Many families aim for 10–15x their annual income.
Outstanding debts — Mortgage, car loans, credit cards, and student loans.
Future expenses — College tuition, childcare, or a spouse's retirement.
Final expenses — Funeral and burial costs average $7,000–$12,000.
