The calculator returns your seven-month Initial Enrollment Period, the stretch when most people take Part B without a late-enrollment penalty, and nothing is asked of you before the answer. It is one window of several: every Medicare enrollment window has its own page.

Medicare, explained simply
Four things worth knowing before any plan gets named.
- Original Medicare: Part A and Part B. What they do not cap is what you spend in a year, which is why most people add something on top: how the parts fit together for someone in Lawrence.
- Medicare Supplement, also called Medigap. Plan G and Plan N are the two most people weigh: Medigap plans in Lawrence, KS.
- Medicare Advantage. An Advantage plan replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that runs through a network, usually with drug coverage and extras folded in. See Medicare Advantage in Lawrence, KS.
- Part D, the prescription side. For 2026 no Part D plan may leave you paying more than $2,100 out of pocket for the drugs it covers: Part D plans in Lawrence, KS.
How working with Adam works
-
Tell Adam your situation
What you hold now, if anything. Who your doctors are. What you take. Whether you are still working. Nothing has to be looked up first.
-
Look at what fits
Doctors first, then prescriptions, then budget, then how you actually live: travel, a winter away, a spouse on a different plan. Plans only get named once all four are written down.
-
Decide if anything makes sense
This is a teaching conversation rather than a sales appointment. If what you already hold turns out to be the right thing for you, that is the answer, and it cost you nothing to hear it.
You are told what each choice does and what it costs. There is more about how Adam works.
Medicare in Lawrence: the local picture
Four places most Medicare decisions here run through, and what each one means.

The community hospital at 325 Maine St. Original Medicare is broadly accepted there, while Medicare Advantage participation varies by plan.

Cardiology, oncology and transplant care are why people here cross the county line. If you expect to use KU for that care, check whether an Advantage plan includes it.

Questions people ask before they call
I turn 65 next year. When do I actually have to do anything?
Seven months in all, and they are called your Initial Enrollment Period. Three fall ahead of the month you turn 65, then comes the birthday month, then three more behind it. If Social Security already pays you, Part A and Part B begin on their own; if not, you apply through Social Security.
I already have a Medicare plan. Is there a reason to look at it again?
Once a year is usually enough. Carriers rewrite drug lists and provider networks for January, and your own doctors and prescriptions move too. If none of it touches you, staying exactly where you are is a real answer.
What does this cost me?
Nothing at all. The carrier pays the agent when a person enrolls, so the help is free whether you enroll through Adam, keep the plan you already have, or go and do the whole thing yourself.
Are you part of Medicare or the government?
No. Lawrence Senior Insurance is a private, independent agency, and it is neither part of nor endorsed by any government agency. Adam cannot put anybody on Part A or Part B; Social Security does that. To see every plan sold in your area, go to Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
