If it's time to enroll in Medicare coverage, you want to take advantage of all the options. You also want to make sure you make the transition as seamless as possible. If you're not sure how to improve your Medicare experience, read the list below.

Here are five tips to help you with your senior Medicare coverage.

Choose an Authorized Representative

If you're ready to enroll in Medicare, now's the time to choose an authorized representative. You might not think you need an authorized representative, but that's not the case. You never know when you'll need someone to discuss your account for you. If you haven't assigned an authorized representative, Medicare can't discuss any details about your Medicare plan. That includes billing and coverage questions. That's where an authorized representative comes into the picture. An authorized representative can discuss your Medicare plan. 

Ask About Limited-Income Benefits

If you're going to apply for Medicare coverage, be sure to discuss your income. If you have a limited income, you could qualify for reduced payments. If you have limited income, some Medicare programs can reduce your prescription costs. That's why you should talk to your Medicare agent about your income. They can sign you up for income-contingent programs you're eligible for. 

Create Your Medicare Account

When you sign up for your senior Medicare coverage, you'll want to create a Medicare account. This is an online account that helps you keep track of your Medicare coverage. With your online Medicare account, you can view your member handbook. You can even chat with customer service representatives. You can also add your prescription medications to your member portal. 

Use the Preventive Services

Now that you're ready to join the Medicare program, take advantage of the preventive services. One of the benefits of the senior Medicare program is there are a lot of preventive services you can use. These services are designed to help keep you healthy in your senior years. Most of these preventive services are available at little to no cost to you. 

Keep Track of Your Claims

When it comes to Medicare coverage, you need to keep track of your claims. You'll receive a Medicare claim notice every time you use the coverage. You want to go over the claims notices as soon as you get them. That way, you can take care of mistakes right away. You can also keep track of your out-of-pocket expenses by looking at your Medicare claims. If you see mistakes in your claims, be sure to contact a Medicare agent as soon as you can.
