Open enrollment starts soon. I'd get her on full Medicare plus a Medigap plan (not an Advantage plan). Contact her state's SHIP counselor or insurance department. Medicare recommends SHIP for free, independent Medigap counseling.

My question is why does Mom only have B. To get her B may cost her more than it would have cost her when she first enrolled at 65, a penalty. Is she still working and has insurance with her employer? You or she needs to call Medicare. The following I got off the internet. Because she did not take Part B at 65, her cost monthly may be more than the $202.90.

" Medicare Part B Costs
Most people: Pay a standard monthly premium of $202.90.

Higher income earners: Pay a higher monthly amount based on tax returns.

Deductible: $283 per year."
