Medicare Plans

Learn about the different options available.

Types of Medicare

Original Medicare is provided by the federal government and includes Part A & B. Many individuals find themselves needing additional coverage, so private insurance companies sell various plans and parts that can help provide that extra coverage.

Depending on your needs and lifestyle, there are a few different Medicare plan options available for you to choose from. There are certain things to consider when selecting coverage such as which doctors you see, how many prescriptions you take and even where you travel frequently.

Option 1:
Add Part D & Medicare Supplement

Add a prescription drug plan and medicare supplement to give you more coverage.

Option 2:
Enroll in Medicare Advantage

Same benefits as Original Medicare, but can include much more from prescriptions to discounts to dental.
