Medicare Coverage Options

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)
Covers doctor visits, outpatient services, preventive care, and medically necessary supplies.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Combines Part A and Part B coverage through private plans, often including additional benefits such as prescription coverage or wellness services.

Provides coverage for prescription medications through standalone or bundled plans.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans
Helps cover out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance not paid by Original Medicare.
Medicare Enrollment & Planning Considerations
Understanding enrollment timing and plan differences is essential to avoid penalties and coverage gaps.
Initial Enrollment Period:
The first opportunity to enroll around your 65th birthday.
Annual Enrollment Period:
Allows plan changes each year during a defined enrollment window.
Special Enrollment Periods:
May apply after qualifying events such as retirement or loss of employer coverage.
Provider & Prescription Access:
Plan networks and drug formularies affect doctor choice and medication costs.
Cost Structure & Long-Term Impact:
Premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket limits should be evaluated together.
We help clients understand these factors before enrollment deadlines — not after penalties apply.
