Medicare

Find out when you can enroll in Medicare for the first time, sign up after leaving employer coverage, or take advantage of enrollment periods to change your existing plan. Stay informed to make the most of your Medicare options. 

Explore what each part of Medicare covers: Part A for hospital stays, Part B for doctor visits and outpatient care, Part C (Medicare Advantage) for privatized all-in-one plans, and Part D for stand-alone prescription drug coverage. 

Learn how Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans, offered by private insurance companies, help pay for costs like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, greatly limiting your financial exposure. 

Discover how Medicare Part D plans, offered by private insurance companies, help cover the cost of prescription medications and can be added to Original Medicare for more complete coverage. Also learn how to find the right Part D plan.

Learn how Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans from private insurers combine hospital and medical coverage, usually include prescription drug coverage, and may even offer dental, vision, hearing, fitness, or transportation benefits. 

Find out how working past age 65 affects your Medicare options, including whether you need to enroll right away or can delay coverage without penalties if you or your spouse have qualifying employer health insurance coverage in place.
