We want you to feel like you have a good grasp on Medicare so you can choose a plan that's right for you. This page will help you understand the common terms and how the different types of Medicare plans on the market compare to each other.
You can get help from your state paying your Medicare premiums. In some cases, Medicare Savings Programs may also pay Hospital Insurance and Medical Insurance deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments if you meet certain conditions.
Medicare Advantage Plans were created so that healthy competition can happen between independent providers which leads to better coverage and cost for the individual consumer.
Although Medicare pays for a portion of your health care costs, certain services and costs are not covered. Medicare supplemental plans (sometimes referred to as Medigap) fill in the gaps where Medicare insurance alone does not cover your costs.
Being able to properly afford the medication you need to retain your quality of life is of no small importance. But the problem is not finding coverage rather it is finding the right coverage for your needs.
No one ever wants to have to be in a situation where they require insurance but you never know what will happen when. To gamble that you will not need insurance is never a bet you should take.
