We did twice from ACA to Medicare: first myself while DW remained in ACA then DW from ACA to Medicare alone with the same agent. Everything went smoothly especially DW got Medicare approval 3 days before starting Medicare starting day (delayed due to SSA local office semi-closed during Covid).
You could be on ACA and Medicare at the same time, but you won't be eligible for ACA tax credit once you are on Medicare, mistake or not.Yikes! Say I call and they don't cancel my ACA in time. I'm still on ACA for another month. Costs me $8.95 but I imagine that would mess up everything for the hospital? Is it illegal to have ACA and Medicare at once due to their mistake?

We found one on the Healthcare.org website recommended list with our zipcode, who happened to be both ACA and Medicare qualified (probably most are as both government programs have lots of similarities). So we have used him for both our ACA and Medicare for about 4-5 years. Agents are paid by insurance companies, so it's free whether you use them or do your self. They certainly know much better than us even after we were on ACA and Medicare for a few years...What's the best way to find an agent to help with this? And does the agent charge the client for their service?
