Medicare questions in Scranton

How much does this cost me?

Nothing. Speaking with a licensed agent about your Medicare options is completely free, with no obligation to enroll.

I'm turning 65 in Scranton — when can I enroll?

Your Initial Enrollment Period is a 7-month window: the 3 months before your 65th-birthday month, your birthday month, and the 3 months after. Reviewing early helps your Lackawanna County coverage start on time.

Will my Geisinger or Regional Hospital doctors be covered?

That depends on the plan. A local agent checks each option against your specific doctors and medications before you decide — that's the point of comparing.

Are plans different in Carbondale or Clarks Summit than in Scranton?

They can be. Medicare Advantage networks and benefits vary by ZIP code, so a Dunmore or Old Forge resident may see different options than someone in Scranton. An agent checks the plans available right where you live.

Is this Medicare or a government program?

No. LeadLoom is a private service that connects you with licensed insurance agents. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Medicare or any government agency.
