Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as younger people with certain disabilities. It helps cover costs for inpatient hospital stays (Part A), medical services and doctor visits (Part B), and prescription drugs (Part D). Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) offer an alternative. We can clarify these options for you.

Medicare typically does not cover routine dental care, vision exams for glasses, hearing aids, long-term custodial care, cosmetic surgery, or most services received outside of the United States. Supplemental plans can often fill these coverage gaps. We can help you explore options that best suit your needs in Columbus.
