Buying Medicare  Just Got Easier

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older and certain younger people with disabilities. Timing is very important when enrolling for Medicare so you don't lose out on any benifits. The original Medicare Program includes three parts:

• Part A - Hospital Insurance: Covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.
• Part B - Medical Insurance: Covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
• Part D - Prescription Drug Coverage (optional): Covers prescription drugs for which you pay a monthly premium.

When you’re joining Medicare timing is very important. When you turn 65 or otherwise become eligible for Medicare, enrollment windows open, but it is important to enroll during that time to ensure you don’t lose out on any benefits.
It is important to remember that Medicare does not cover all medical expensesA recent study of 3,000 Medicare beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket medical spending during their last five years of life found:

• Participants spent an average of at least $38,600
• 25% of participants paid $101,800  on average
• 25% spent more than their total household assets on health care

Because of this, many people opt for additional coverage through a Medicare Supplement Plan.
What you need to know about Medicare Supplement Plans:

• Helps you pay some or all medical expenses not paid by Medicare part A & B
• May help limit your annual out-of-pocket medical expenses
• You can see any doctor that accepts Medicare patients

Medicare Supplement Plans strengthen your overall coverage. Medicare is not designed to pay 100% of your medical costs.  Medicare Supplemental insurance coverage helps pay some of your share of the health care costs not covered by the Medicare Plan; such as deductibles and coinsurance or copayment amounts. Some supplemental health insurance plans also cover certain hospital or medical services not covered by Medicare.  This can help ensure medical expenses deplete your savings.
Medicare Supplemental health insurance coverage is available to you if you are 65 or older and have enrolled in Medicare Plan, Parts A and B.
