As the baby boom generation begins to turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare, an increasing number of caregivers will be called upon to make sense of the numerous Medicare coverage options available, to understand and utilize the various Medicare enrollment periods, and to select the coverage best suited to their loved one's needs. Many will not know where to turn for assistance. In response, PlanPrescriber has released the following tips in order to provide caregivers with the right information and support as they assist baby boomers enrolling in Medicare for the first time.

According to a national survey of college students, graduates and parents conducted in April, 2011 by global insights firm Kelton Research and sponsored by eHealthInsurance, nearly four in ten (38%) of parents do not plan to keep their adult children on their health insurance plan until age 26, despite the fact that the 2010 health care reform law now allows them to do so.
