When you reach 65 you are now faced with a new health insurance option: You are now eligible for Medicare.  Contrary to what many think, Medicare isn't free and there are a variety of options available to meet your specific needs. Medicare is actually broken up into 4 parts:

​

        Medicare Part A: Part A covers hospital care, skilled nursing, hospice and some home health care. 

​

        Medicare Part B: Part B covers doctor visits, preventive care, outpatient care and hospitals, and some home health care. 

 

        Medicare Part C: Part C is also known as a Medicare Advantage plan. These are Medicare health plans offered by private companies that contract with Medicare to provide you with all your Part A and Part B benefits.

​

        Medicare Part D: Part D covers prescription drug plans.

​

        There are also Medicare Supplement plans available to help fill in areas that Medicare plans may not cover.

​

        There is a lot involved in Medicare and it can be quite confusing. Let us help take the confusion out.
