I’ll be 72 in October, 47 year type 1 (Tandem Tslim-x2, G7, Oklahoma) and retiring end of the year. What advice for Medicare sign up. Already have Soc Sec and therefore, Part A (worthless so far), I’m assuming Part B,Part D and a supplemental plan. What do I look for in those. What are people doing for dental. My wife (no major health problems) will probably go for a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C?). Anybody have thoughts pro or con on that? Thanks.

You lasted longer than me to pull the retirement pin. I did at 65. As to good supplemental plans I will lead that to those who have more recent experience with them.
I retired from Verizon and used a supplemental plan that was a retiree benefit for 2 years. It was very good. Then Verizon changed to a Medicare Advantage plan, 1st UHC later Aetna.
There was no real difference between these 2 plans because Verizon basically is self insuring usiing UHC/Aetna to manage their plans. I have had major surgery, get CGM, Tandem supplies and Urostomy suppliesat reasonable prices.
Thar said and I assume that your wife has no outstanding health issues, Advantage plans can be pie in the sky. They offer lots of perks but when needed don’t deliver. I would be careful with those.
Good luck on finding a supplement plan that will work well for you.
