To Liz, please:This year, I intend to retire. Can I return to traditional Medicare without incurring a penalty if I select a Medicare Advantage Plan?
Answer: You won’t be charged more by Medicare, but you won’t always have the right to apply for a Medigap supplemental policy. You may have to pay much more for this crucial extra coverage if you decide to switch after the first 12 months.
