What are Some of My Medicare Options?


	You'll soon see for yourself: there's a vast new life after retirement. And with this vast new life, you'll need to make sure to insure yourself properly. Medicare offers a large variety of plans to better suit your individual needs.

Original Medicare

You can enroll in Original Medicare which provides Part A and Part B coverage. See the explanation of the different parts of Medicare for an overview of Part A and B.

Unfortunately, Original Medicare does not include prescription drug coverage. However, you can add drug coverage (Part D) by joining a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan. These plans are run by private insurance companies approved by Medicare.

Medicare Advantage Plan

There is another plan that can be chosen to fit you better. You can enroll in an all-in-one plan called a Medicare Advantage Plan. This is a convenient way to get your Medicare benefits in addition to perks and extras: annual physical exams, wellness programs and coverage when you travel.

These plans can lower your out-of-pocket expenses while offering more benefits. Medicare Advantage plans offer options with or without prescription drug coverage.

Medigap Plans

Medigap plans - or, Medicare Supplement Plans - are another option you may want to take into consideration. These are health insurance policies sold by private insurance companies to help fill the "gaps" in Original Medicare coverage. Medicare Supplement insurance policies work only with Original Medicare.

There are several options to choose from and you'll want to make sure that you make the right decision. Choosing the right plan will directly affect your health - it will be a decision that will affect the way you live! Read about Choose a Medicare Plan.

If you would like more information or help on these plans, be sure to contact your nearest healthcare provider.
