Answer: For most people, the first opportunity to enroll begins 3 months before turning 65 and continues for 3 months after the month they turn 65.
Answer: Not necessarily. With Original Medicare, you can generally see any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans may use provider networks, so it’s important to check whether your doctors participate before choosing a plan.
Answer: Original Medicare includes Part A and Part B and allows you to use any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is offered by Medicare-approved private insurance companies and combines Part A and Part B, usually with Part D, and may include additional benefits.
The right option depends on your doctors, medications, budget, and coverage needs.
Answer: Costs vary by plan. Some Medicare Advantage plans have a $0 monthly plan premium, while others may charge a premium. You must continue paying your Medicare Part B premium, and costs such as copays, deductibles, and coinsurance can vary.
Answer: Your medications may be covered, but coverage and costs can vary by plan. Each Medicare drug plan has a list of covered medications, called a formulary. Before choosing a plan, we can review your prescriptions to help you understand how they may be covered.
