Questions to Ask if You’re Ready to Enroll in Medicare
Did you know that obtaining the right Medicare coverage often depends on asking the right questions?
• Medicare Basics: Am I Medicare-eligible? What are the different parts of Medicare insurance and what do they provide? When can I enroll in Medicare?
• Medicare Coverage Options that Match My Healthcare Needs:
Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan? Will I need a Supplement Plan to pay for the costs that Original Medicare does not cover? What are my prescription drug coverage options?
• Financial Assistance Programs to Help Pay for your Medicare Costs:
What kind of assistance is available? Am I eligible for these programs?
