Medicare costs aren't one-size-fits-all. Your monthly premium and out-of-pocket expenses depend on several specific factors. Your zip code matters, as local plan availability varies significantly by region. The type of coverage you select—whether it is a Medicare Supplement or a Medicare Advantage plan—plays a major role in what you pay. Additionally, your current health needs, the specific prescription medications you take, and your preferred doctors can shift your total costs up or down. Because these variables change for every individual, there is no flat rate for everyone. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, younger people with certain disabilities, and those with End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps cover costs for hospital stays, doctor visits, and prescription drugs. It is divided into distinct parts.
Medicare generally excludes coverage for most dental care, routine vision exams for eyeglasses, hearing aids, long-term custodial care, cosmetic surgery, and services such as acupuncture. It’s important to be aware of these limitations. Supplemental plans can often address these gaps for Norfolk residents.
To be eligible for Medicare, you generally must be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident for at least five years. You also need to be 65 or older, or under 65 with a qualifying disability, or have End-Stage Renal Disease. These are the fundamental eligibility criteria.
Your monthly Medicare expenses depend on the specific plans you choose and your income. Part A may have no premium if you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for a qualifying period. Part B and Part D have monthly premiums that can vary. We can help you determine this.
