Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Medicare and what to expect at a meeting.

When am I eligible for Medicare?

Most individuals become eligible for Medicare at age 65. You may also qualify earlier if you have certain disabilities or medical conditions. Your eligibility date typically depends on your birth month or qualifying condition.

When can I enroll in Medicare?

Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) begins three months before your 65th birthday, includes your birth month, and continues for three months after. There are also other enrollment periods, such as the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7), when you can review or make changes to your coverage.

How is Medicare Advantage different from Original Medicare?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) is provided by the federal government and covers hospital and medical services. Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare and may include additional benefits. Plan features, provider networks, and costs vary by plan and location.

What coverage options are available to me?

Medicare offers several coverage options, including:

Original Medicare (Part A and Part B)
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)

A licensed insurance agent can help you review which options are available in your area.

Are my doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions covered?

Coverage depends on the specific plan you choose. Provider networks, drug formularies, and benefits vary by plan and location. It’s important to review plan details to confirm whether your preferred doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions are included.

How much does Medicare cost?

Costs can include premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The exact amount depends on the coverage you choose and your individual situation. Some plans may have lower premiums but different out-of-pocket costs.

Do I have to enroll in Medicare at 65?

Not everyone is required to enroll at age 65. If you have qualifying employer coverage, you may be able to delay enrollment without penalty. It’s important to review your situation to avoid late enrollment penalties.

Can I change my Medicare plan later?

Yes. You can make changes during certain enrollment periods, such as the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) or other qualifying periods depending on your circumstances.

What is not covered by Medicare?

Original Medicare does not cover certain services such as most dental, vision, hearing, and long-term care. Some plans may offer additional benefits, depending on availability.
