When first enrolling in Medicare and during certain other times throughout the year, you choose how to receive your coverage. The two primary ways to receive Medicare include Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Original Medicare includes hospital insurance, also known as Part A, and medical insurance, also known as Part B. If you need a prescription drug plan, you join a separate Medicare drug plan, also known as Part D.

Medicare Advantage is also known as Part C, and it’s an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Bundled Medicare Advantage plans include everything listed above (Part D is optional), but also offer extra benefits like hearing, dental, vision, and more.

Choosing the right Medicare Advantage plan for your needs is important, and it’s why it makes sense to explore all of the options before you make a final selection. As independent brokers, we help you find the plan that works best for your needs. Other companies often try to steer clients into selecting the plan that works best for the company’s bottom line.

By working with one of our local agents virtually or in-person, we will provide the information needed to make an informed decision. We will help you fully understand your options, how much your coverage costs and what doctors are available. Your agent will sit down with you, compare different plans, and ensure you fully understand all of your options.

This means you have the final word on the quality of your care. If having full control over your health options is important to you, contact us today.
