Medicare Planning for Senior Lawyers and their Spouses

Trusts, Estates, and Elder Law attorney Paul Izzo authored an article for the Virginia State Bar 2025 Summer Newsletter titled Medicare Planning for Senior Lawyers and their Spouses, addressing the decisions one must make related to Medicare as retirement approaches.

As daunting as these decisions are, and the critical
time frames within which to make the needed
Medicare elections, you need not go it alone. 

 

Medicare is comprised of parts A, B, C, and D and your enrollment in each is dependent upon a variety of factors, including whether you are drawing from Social Security, if you contributed to Medicare while employed, your healthcare coverage situation from your employer, and more. The article outlines the steps to take for enrollment, the benefits provided by the parts, and the costs and timelines associated with each.
