What is different in Bluffton
Everyone arrives at 65 at once, and not everyone arrives informed
Bluffton's active-adult communities produce something we do not see anywhere else on our map: dozens of households in one neighbourhood reaching 65 within a year or two of each other, comparing notes over a fence. Shared advice is usually shared incorrectly, because the right answer depends on your drug list, your doctors and whether you still have employer coverage. We run individual reviews and say so plainly.
Timing
The enrolment windows that matter in Bluffton
Everyone gets the same windows. Which of them is the useful one depends on where you live and what you already have.
Special Enrolment Period for a permanent move
A genuine move into Beaufort County opens a window to pick a plan that is actually sold here. New arrivals routinely keep a plan built around a network hundreds of miles away.
Enrolment window dates are set by Medicare and apply nationally. Nothing on this page is a quote, and no premium, deductible or penalty figure is stated anywhere on it.
