  • What is Part D?

    Part D helps cover the cost of prescription medications and is offered through private insurance companies.

    Medicare Advantage is an alternative to Original Medicare provided by private insurers. It often includes drug coverage and additional benefits like dental, vision, and hearing.

New to Medicare? What You Need to Know

Your Coverage Paths

  • Original Medicare + Supplement?

    Original Medicare consists of Part A and Part B, which cover hospital and medical services. By adding a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, you can reduce out-of-pocket costs. A standalone Part D drug plan can also be included for prescription coverage.
  • Medicare Advantage?

    Medicare Advantage plans offer an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. These plans often come with lower premiums and provide network-based coverage, which may include additional benefits like dental and vision care.
  • How do I choose between the two?

    Choosing the right path depends on several factors, including your budget, doctor preferences, travel habits, prescription needs, and health history. It's essential to evaluate what matters most to you.
  • What should I consider for my Medicare coverage?

    Consider your overall health, the doctors you want to see, and any medications you take. Understanding these aspects will help you make an informed decision about your Medicare coverage.
  • How Do I Enroll?

    You enroll through the Social Security Administration.


    Option 1: Online (Fastest & Easiest)

    Go to:


     www.ssa.gov/medicare


    Takes about 10–15 minutes.


    Option 2: By Phone


    Call Social Security at:

     1-800-772-1213


    Option 3: In Person

Understanding Your Initial Enrollment Period

  • What is the Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)?

    The IEP is a crucial 7-month window for enrolling in Medicare. It starts 3 months before your 65th birthday, includes your birthday month, and extends for 3 months after.
  • Why is Timely Enrollment Important?

    Enrolling on time helps you avoid late enrollment penalties, ensures you have coverage when you need it, and prevents gaps in your protection.
  • What if I'm Still Working?

    If you're covered by employer insurance, the rules may differ. It's essential to understand how your coverage interacts with Medicare to make informed decisions.
