Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, as well as younger individuals with certain disabilities or End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps pay for hospital stays, doctor services, and prescription drugs. Understanding its different parts is crucial for comprehensive coverage.

Medicare typically excludes long-term care, most dental care, routine vision exams, cosmetic surgery, acupuncture, and hearing aids. Being aware of these limitations is important for budgeting and planning your healthcare. We can explore supplemental options that may cover these.

To be eligible for Medicare, you generally must be a U.S. citizen or have been a legal resident for at least five years. You also need to be at least 65 years old, or younger if you have a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease. These are the core requirements.

Your monthly Medicare costs depend on several factors, including income-related adjustments for Part B and the specific Part D plan you choose. If you opt for a Medicare Advantage or Medigap plan, these will have their own associated costs. We can provide a tailored quote.

The cost of Part D plans also varies significantly. Your specific monthly Medicare expenses will depend on your income and plan selection. Let us help you find out.
