Texas Turning 65

Texas T65 leads — built around the Initial Enrollment Period, not generic Medicare interest.

Exclusive Texas residents inside the IEP window, age-verified to T65 timing, with express written TCPA consent and the CMS TPMO disclaimer captured at the form.

01 — The problem

Most 'Texas T65' lead feeds aren't actually T65 — they're 60-to-80-year-olds with a Medicare checkbox.

True T65 leads are consumers inside the seven-month Initial Enrollment Period — three months before the 65th birthday, the birthday month itself, and three months after. They have no existing Medicare plan, no AEP history, and a one-time enrollment decision to make. They convert at fundamentally different rates than AEP shoppers because they're choosing for the first time, not switching.

National vendors blur this. A lead pool labeled 'Texas T65' typically mixes IEP-eligible aging-in consumers with current Medicare members who clicked a Medicare ad, with under-64 shoppers planning ahead, and with already-enrolled prospects whose carrier search has nothing to do with T65. Texas producers buy thousands of records and discover most of them don't match the T65 window at all.

Texas T65 demand is heaviest along the Central Texas corridor, the DFW Metroplex, Greater Houston, and the bilingual South Texas markets — and it runs every month of the year, not just AEP.

  • Texas 'T65' leads who are actually 62 or 71 and outside the IEP window.
  • Aging-in Texas prospects routed to producers who only work the AEP switching market.
  • South Texas Spanish-speaking T65 consumers delivered with English-only consent.
  • Birthday-month Texas leads delivered weeks late, after the IEP decision window has narrowed.
  • Consent records missing the CMS TPMO disclaimer at the form level.
  • Shared T65 records resold across multiple Texas agencies inside the same DMA.

03 — The OneLife solution

A Texas T65 program engineered around the IEP calendar — not pasted onto an AEP feed.

OneLife runs Texas T65 as a dedicated, year-round program. Creative is written for the first-time enrollment decision: Parts A and B, the Part D drug requirement, the Medigap-versus-Medicare-Advantage choice, and the late-enrollment penalties that shape the IEP window. Forms screen for date-of-birth-driven IEP eligibility before the lead ever reaches your CRM.

Qualification, consent and source documentation, exclusivity, delivery and retention depend on the product, publisher and buyer agreement. Confirm the applicable specifications and legal requirements before outreach.

Because T65 volume runs every month of the year, pacing is built around continuous birthday-cohort delivery — not the AEP spike. Daily caps, county-level routing, and pause-on-demand keep coverage matched to your producer capacity through Q1, Q2, Q3, and AEP alike.

They are making a first-time Medicare enrollment decision, not switching plans during AEP. OneLife verifies IEP eligibility at the form before delivery.
