About this listen
In this fun and highly practical episode of Rayna Retirement, Rayna Reyes helps you “ride the Medicare train” with confidence. Whether you're turning 65, retiring from federal service, or navigating disability-based eligibility, Rayna breaks down exactly who qualifies for Medicare, when you can enroll, and how to avoid costly penalties.
She explains the differences between Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D, what each one actually covers, and how Medicare interacts with FEHB and Postal Service health benefits, including the new rules requiring many Postal retirees to take Part B.
Rayna also walks through the updated 2026 Medicare Part B premium grid, why your income from two years ago determines your monthly costs, and why AEP (Annual Enrollment Period) is your chance to make sure you’re on the right plan.
If you’re confused by Medicare Advantage plans, Part B givebacks, or the flood of advertisements hitting your mailbox each fall—this episode gives you clarity, confidence, and a clear next step.
