Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage?

Original Medicare is provided by the federal government and includes Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare and often include additional benefits like prescription drug coverage and dental care.

When can I enroll in Medicare?

You can enroll in Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period, which begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after. There are also annual enrollment periods and special enrollment periods for certain circumstances.

Do I need a Medicare Supplement plan?

Medicare Supplement plans, also known as Medigap, can help cover out-of-pocket costs not covered by Original Medicare. Whether you need one depends on your health needs and financial situation. Our agents can help you determine if a supplement plan is right for you.

How often can I change my Medicare plan?

You can generally make changes to your Medicare coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) from October 15 to December 7 each year. There are also special enrollment periods for certain life events.
