Colleen Williams, Coverage Made Clear Insurance

Graduation season always makes me reflect on my own career journey and what I’d tell my younger self.

Back in high school, I truly had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started college, but I wasn’t taking it seriously and felt like I was wasting my time. Over the years, I worked several jobs in IT, production, customer service, sales, and management until I finally found what felt right for me. I didn’t complete college until I was in my 30s, when our kids were in middle and high school.

Sometimes what you think you’ll enjoy doing for the rest of your life isn’t where you ultimately end up.

It’s okay not to have your future completely mapped out — as long as you get out there and try new things. Be open to new opportunities. Never be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Do what makes YOU happy. Meet different people. And don’t stress if your career takes unexpected turns.

It’s all part of the process, and it’s okay to stumble along the way — and yes, even fail.

Congratulations to the Pennridge Graduates and Good Luck to the Class of 2026 and their families!

This Memorial Day weekend, I encourage you to take time to reflect, remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Many within our community are veterans or have family members and loved ones who have served. Your connection to this day and your continued leadership in your communities matters, and it does not go unnoticed.

Honoring service and sacrifice is not limited to a single day on the calendar. Throughout the year, I support veterans and organizations such as The American Legion because I believe standing with those who have served is part of who we are and how to show up in the community that I serve.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing moms! Enjoy your day!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🎉

If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your policy, or if you’re just starting to explore your options, now is a great time to take that next step.

Feel free to message me anytime, and we can go over what makes the most sense for you and your family.

May the 4th be with you!

Stepping out of my comfort zone to go independent was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done, but seeing this community grow makes every bit of it worth it. A massive thank you to my family, friends, and especially my amazing clients—without you, this dream wouldn’t be a reality.

How are Medigap premiums set?

While Medigap policies with the same letter offer the same benefits, the monthly premiums can vary by company. When choosing a Medigap, it's important to ask how the insurance company sets its premiums.

The following factors may affect the cost of your Medigap, and which Medigaps are available for you to purchase:
• Where you live
• Your age
• Your health status
• Your gender
• If you smoke
• If you are married
• When you first became eligible for Medicare

Be aware of how Medigap companies can use age when setting premiums. In some states, companies are only allowed to use age to set premiums in certain ways.

Depending on your state, premiums may be:
• No-age-rated (also known as community-rated): Premiums are the same for everyone living in a specific area, regardless of age. These are generally the least expensive over your lifetime.
• Issue-age-rated: Premiums are based on the age you were when you first bought the policy. The younger you are when you purchase a Medigap policy, the lower your premium. (Note: Premiums will still increase over time due to inflation, but not due to your age.
• Attained-age-rated: Premiums are initially based on your age when you purchase a policy, and they increase as you get older. Meaning you pay a different price at age 65 than you do at age 70. These premiums may be the lowest when you first buy them, but they are generally the most expensive over your lifetime.

It is usually a good idea to buy your Medigap policy during your Medigap open enrollment period or when you have a guaranteed issue right, because during those times, insurers are required to sell you a policy, and your premium can’t vary based on your health status.
