- Same federal calendar
- Medicare's windows are the same in every state: Open Enrollment runs October 15 – December 7 for coverage starting January 1, and people already in a Medicare Advantage plan get one change between January 1 and March 31.

Local Perspective
Insurance Decisions Look Different in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is Nevada's biggest insurance market by far — the most plans, the most networks, the most advertising, and the most ways to choose something that doesn't quite fit. The city's size guarantees options; it doesn't guarantee clarity.
With multiple hospital systems across the valley, the network question is genuinely local: which system your doctors belong to, which hospitals your plan uses, and how your prescriptions price at your pharmacy. Shift-work and hospitality careers also make under-65 marketplace coverage a constant conversation here — subsidy math included.

Common Questions
How do I enroll in Medicare in Las Vegas?
Enrollment in Parts A and B happens through Social Security during your seven-month window around turning 65; the plans layered on top have their own windows, including the October 15 – December 7 Annual Enrollment Period. We walk Las Vegas residents through the sequencing free of charge, with Eric Jenkins, our Nevada-licensed agent.
Can I get ACA marketplace coverage in Las Vegas?
Yes — Nevadans shop marketplace plans through the state's exchange, with income-based subsidies that make coverage far more affordable than most people expect. Open enrollment runs each fall, and qualifying life events open windows year-round.
With so many providers in Las Vegas, does plan choice really matter?
It matters more, not less: plans differ in networks, drug coverage, and referral rules even where providers are plentiful. Comparing against your actual doctors and prescriptions is what turns a crowded market into a clear answer.
Do you work with people retiring before 65?
Yes. Bridging the years before Medicare — usually with ACA marketplace coverage and careful income planning — is one of the most common situations we help with, alongside the retirement-income side of the same decision.
