What New Medicare Enrollees Need to Know​

​

If you are turning 65 and/or new to Medicare, the first thing you need to do is decide if you need to enroll in Medicare. If yes, you need to review Original Medicare. Your options for covering the out of pocket Original Medicare expenses are generally a supplement, a Medicare Advantage Plan, or a company retiree plan. If you decide you want a supplement plan, you also need to find what prescription drug plan is best for you. Making these decisions may seem complicated. We are licensed and certified to sell Medicare Plans. We can help you understand the differences in plans and help you enroll.

​

Medicare has Four Parts:

​

• Part A - Hospital Insurance

• Part B - Medical Insurance

• Part C - Medicare Advantage Plan

• Part D - Prescription Drug Coverage

​

What are Options to Help Cover the Costs Original Medicare Doesn't Cover?

​

Medicare plans do not pay all expenses. You may incur co-insurance, co-pays, deductibles, and premiums. If you have Original Medicare, you may choose to buy a Medicare Supplement (also known as Medigap) Policy to help with these costs. Depending on the policy you select, your Medigap policy may cover all deductibles and coinsurance under Original Medicare in full.

​

Medicare Advantage plans may have low premiums or no premiums. They include co-pays, and in some plans, coinsurance. All plans have an annual maximum out of pocket. Some Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage.
