The 4 Things to Know Before Enrolling in a Medicare Plan

There are two types of additional coverage you can get to help pay for the 20% of healthcare costs that Original Medicare does not cover: Medicare Supplement Insurance and Medicare Advantage plans.

• Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C,  are offered by private insurance companies and they provide all of your Medicare coverage in one plan.
• Medicare Supplement Insurance are private insurance plans that can help you pay for the costs that Original Medicare does not cover, such as coinsurance and deductibles, limiting your out-of-pocket costs. If Medicare Supplement is the right fit for you, you will also want to consider getting a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan.
• Prescription Drug plans, also known as Medicare Part D,  are private Insurance plans that help to cover the cost of prescription drugs included on the plan’s formulary.  

Picking a Medicare plan can be confusing. There are many details to think about when comparing plans including:

• How much will I pay for hospital visits?
• Can I see my favorite doctors?
• Will it cover the cost of my medicine?
• Are there other benefits I may need?
