Medicare 101
Everyone’s heard of it. But what is it, really?Medicare is a health insurance plan administered by the government and available to U.S. citizens who are age 65 or older, disabled, suffer from Lou Gehrig’s disease (i.e., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), have kidney failure or meet the qualifications to receive a kidney transplant.1

The four plans that keep you covered.There are four options Medicare recipients can utilize simultaneously to help pay for medical expenses for frequently used services—they are Parts A, B, C and D. Each plan covers different elements, so it’s best to reach out to us so we can discuss in further detail to find the plan that’s optimal for you.

What about the gaps some plans don't cover?
|
|
Health care expenses can quickly accrue, and when unexpected medical emergencies occur, you may not be prepared to handle the financial consequences. Although Parts A and B provide a significant amount of coverage, the total costs will not be paid. These plans pay approximately 80% of health care expenses, and you are responsible for paying the remaining 20%. This remaining balance typically consists of copays and deductibles. This is where a supplemental health insurance plan to cover the gap can provide a safety net for you. Paying for Medicare can be challenging, but with diligent research and talking to us, you can find what you will need when you reach age 65 or what you need to change to your retirement health care plan now.
