Comprehensive Medicare Resources

Understanding Medicare can be overwhelming, but we’re here to help! Below, you’ll find detailed answers to the most common questions about Medicare, making it easy to make the right decisions for your healthcare needs.

1. When Should You Enroll in Medicare?

Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) starts three months before your 65th birthday and lasts three months after. Missing this window could result in late penalties.

2. Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D Explained

Medicare consists of different parts that cover different services:

• Part A: Covers hospital stays and some skilled nursing care.
• Part B: Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, and preventive services.
• Part C (Medicare Advantage): A private alternative that combines Parts A and B and often includes additional benefits like vision and dental.
• Part D: Covers prescription drugs.

3. Medicare Advantage vs. Medigap

Choosing between Medicare Advantage and Medigap depends on your needs:

• Medicare Advantage (Part C): Lower premiums, often includes extra benefits, but has network restrictions.
• Medigap (Supplemental Insurance): Higher monthly cost but helps cover out-of-pocket expenses like copays and deductibles.

4. Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D)

Original Medicare does not cover prescriptions. Enrolling in a Part D plan or choosing a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage is essential.

5. Keeping Your Doctors

Not all Medicare plans cover the same providers. If keeping your doctor is important to you, verify that they accept the plan you choose.

Check provider availability at Medicare Care Compare.

6. How Much Does Medicare Cost?

While Part A is usually free, Part B, C, and D come with premiums, deductibles, and copays. Understanding these costs is crucial for budgeting your healthcare expenses.
