# Medicare T65 Facebook Ads: Targeting People Turning 65

<p class="lead">Facebook advertising is the most cost-effective digital channel for T65 Medicare prospecting. The platform's age-based targeting lets you reach people approaching 65 with educational content and enrollment offers — but CMS compliance rules add complexity.</p>

<div data-ai-block="definitive-answer"><h2>The Short Answer</h2><p>Target <strong>ages 63–65</strong> in your licensed states with <strong>educational content ads</strong> leading to lead forms or seminar registrations. Include the <strong>required CMS disclaimer</strong> on all Medicare ads. Connect lead forms to your CRM for <strong>instant follow-up</strong> — T65 leads that receive a call within 5 minutes convert at 8x the rate of those contacted after an hour.</p></div>

<h2>Facebook T65 Targeting</h2>
<h3>Audience Setup</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Age</strong>: 63–65 (captures pre-T65 awareness phase)</li>
<li><strong>Location</strong>: Your licensed states/counties</li>
<li><strong>Interests</strong>: Medicare, retirement planning, AARP, Social Security</li>
<li><strong>Exclusions</strong>: Current Medicare recipients (if possible via custom audiences)</li>
</ul>

<h3>Special Ad Category</h3>
<p>Medicare ads fall under Facebook's "Social Issues, Elections, or Politics" or financial services categories in some cases. Be prepared for limited targeting options.</p>

<h2>Ad Creative That Converts</h2>
<h3>Video Ads (Best Performing)</h3>
<ul>
<li>"Turning 65? Here are the 3 things you need to know about Medicare"</li>
<li>"The biggest mistake people make when signing up for Medicare"</li>
<li>"Medicare Parts A, B, C, D explained in 60 seconds"</li>
</ul>

<h3>Image Ads</h3>
<ul>
<li>Infographics comparing Medicare Advantage vs. Medigap</li>
<li>Checklist graphics: "Your Medicare Enrollment Checklist"</li>
<li>Seminar/webinar promotional graphics</li>
</ul>

<h2>CMS Compliance for Medicare Ads</h2>
<p>All Medicare marketing materials (including social media ads) must include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The CMS-required disclaimer: "We do not offer every plan available in your area..."</li>
<li>No superlatives without substantiation ("best plan," "lowest cost")</li>
<li>No unsolicited contact claims</li>
<li>Scope of Appointment requirements for any scheduled meeting</li>
</ul>

<h2>Lead Form → CRM Pipeline</h2>
<ol>
<li>Lead submits Facebook form</li>
<li>CRM receives lead instantly via API</li>
<li>Automated SMS: "Hi [Name], thanks for your interest in Medicare. I'll call you in a few minutes!"</li>
<li>Lead assigned to agent for immediate phone call</li>
<li>T65 nurture sequence enrolled (email + SMS drip until enrollment)</li>
</ol>

<h2>FAQs</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Can I run Medicare ads year-round on Facebook?</dt>
<dd>Yes — T65 IEP enrollment is year-round. You're not limited to AEP for T65 prospects. However, CMS marketing rules still apply to all Medicare advertising.</dd>
<dt>What's a good CPL for Medicare T65 Facebook ads?</dt>
<dd>$10–$25 per lead is typical. Higher-intent lead forms cost more but convert better. At a $15 CPL with 20% close rate, your cost per client is $75.</dd>
