Understanding Your Medicare Plan Options

Whether you are about to achieve the age of 65 or have already celebrated this milestone birthday – you made the right choice turning to The Insurance Hub.  Medicare can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. 

For those about to turn 65, we’ll help you navigate what you need to know to take full advantage of your entitled benefits and how to avoid making costly mistakes.

If you are already 65 or older, we will help you know if you are in the most cost-effective plan.  A plan that allows you to see the doctors you like, go to the hospitals you trust, and afford the prescriptions you need.

The Alphabet Soup of Medicare

Whether you take traditional Part A & B or an Advantage Plan (also known as Plan C) is a very personal decision. The Insurance Hub agents will ask the critical questions to ensure that you can go to the hospitals you want and see the doctors you trust. We’ll guide you through the Part D Prescription Drug Plan process.  Part D plans change every year, so we’ll make sure you start in the best plan, and we’ll analyze it every year to keep you in the most-cost efficient plan based on your current prescriptions.

What! There are Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N?!

Yes, Plans not to be confused with Parts A, B, C, & D.  These are Medigap Plans and are also called Supplemental Plans.  Wading through these plans can be intimidating. We’ve helped thousands get safely to the shore and we can help you too.  Learn about our “Turning 65” Educational Workshops!

WHAT IS MEDICARE? 

If you’re 65 or older or are younger with a disability and a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident for the past five years, you qualify for this government health care program. Individuals receiving Social Security benefits are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A, covering hospital costs, and Part B which covers visits to the doctor. This can help offset medical expenses, but every plan has additional costs.

Medicare has many benefits, including coverage for emergencies, preventative care, prescriptions, dental care, eye exams and more. One of the most important things to know is that Medicare does not cover everything. Additionally, the cost of your premiums depends on your income. Thankfully, these premiums are tax-deductible which can assist, especially if you have a nice nest egg.

MEDICARE VS. HEALTH INSURANCE

It’s important to understand the difference between Medicare and medical health insurance. With The Insurance Hub you’ll quickly get education on the Medicare process, an explanation about Part A, Part B, Part C Advantage plans, and Part D Prescription Drug Plans to help decipher your needs and whether you have the right coverage. Walking you through the process of Medicare Plans, Supplement policies, Advantage Plans, and Prescription Drug Plans helps you make informed decisions to give you the control and portability you deserve. Make sure your medical future is properly planned with one of our associates. Place yourself in a position to save more where you can. Our team makes your planning easier.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A: Yes, IF you are receiving benefits, the Social Security Administration will automatically sign you up at age 65 for parts A and B of Medicare. Social Security will send you sign-up instructions at the beginning of your initial enrollment period which is three months before the month of your 65th birthday. If you are not receiving Social Security, you will not be signed up automatically. You’ll have to enroll yourself, either online at SSA.gov, by contacting Social Security, or by reaching out to The Insurance Hub for help with your application.

A: No, although Part A is usually free if you’ve worked in this country for a minimum of 10 years, there is a cost for Plan B which includes monthly premiums and an annual deductible. Medicare only covers 80% of the cost.  Advantage Plans and Medicare Supplemental (Medigap) Plans will help cover the other 20%. Contact The Insurance Hub to learn more bout Part A, Part B, Part D (Prescription Drug Plans), Supplemental (Medigap) Plans, and Advantage Plans.

A: It depends, Medicare Advantage plans offer an alternative to Original Medicare and it can work well for the needs of some people. But every person has a unique situation and Medicare Advantage Plans can be a dangerous decision in some cases. This is because Advantage plans often don’t provide the flexibility of Medicare supplements.  In most cases, you can’t choose any doctor or hospital, and in the case of serious illness, significant out-of-pocket expenses can result. Your The Insurance Hub’s licensed agent will help you learn if a Medicare Advantage plan is a good choice for you.

A: While the term “donut hole” might sound sweet, this gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage is definitely not! Each year, your plan may temporarily reach its limit on the amount it will cover for your prescription drugs. When this happens, you may find that you have to pay more for your medications. The licensed agents at The Insurance Hub can help you better understand the Donut Hole and how it can directly impact your cost for prescriptions. 

A: Plans should not be confused with Parts A, B, C, & D.  There are also Medigap Plans (also called Supplemental Plans) which can be purchased as an alternative to Part C Advantage Plans.  Wading through these Plans (confusingly named: A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N) can be intimidating. The licensed agents at The Insurance Hub can help you navigate the decision-making process, just as we’ve helped so many others.
