Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for people 65 or older. It helps cover costs for hospital stays (Part A), doctor visits and outpatient care (Part B), prescription drugs (Part D), and managed care plans (Part C, or Medicare Advantage). It's designed to provide essential health coverage for seniors. Understanding these parts is key, and we can help clarify it for you.

Generally, Medicare doesn't cover things like routine vision or dental care, hearing aids, long-term care, cosmetic surgery, or services outside the U.S. (with some exceptions). Knowing these limitations helps you budget for potential out-of-pocket expenses. We can discuss supplemental plans that might fill these gaps for you in Tallahassee.

You generally need to be a U.S. citizen or have been a legal resident for at least five years. You must also be at least 65 years old, or younger with a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease. Meeting these basic criteria is the first step to eligibility. We can help confirm if you meet them.

The cost for Medicare varies. Part D prescription drug plans have their own monthly premiums. We can't give exact figures here, but a quick call will get you a personalized quote based on your needs.

That's a common starting point for the Part B premium, but it can be higher if your income is above a certain threshold. Some people may also qualify for programs that help with costs. We can help you figure out your specific monthly costs.
