Comprehensive Medicare Services
Medicare Part A and Part B (Original Medicare): This foundation of Medicare covers hospital insurance and medical insurance. We help you understand your benefits under Original Medicare and guide you through any additional coverage options that might be necessary for your situation.
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C): For those looking for more extensive coverage, Medicare Advantage Plans can be an excellent option. These plans offer all the benefits of Original Medicare plus additional benefits such as dental, vision, and hearing coverage. We’ll help you compare different plans to find one that meets your lifestyle and health needs.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D): Managing medication costs in retirement is crucial. Our Medicare Part D plans are designed to help you manage these costs effectively. We assist in finding a plan that covers your medications at a cost that fits your budget.
Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap): To cover costs that Original Medicare does not, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles, Medigap can be a lifesaver. We offer a variety of Medigap policies to ensure that out-of-pocket medical expenses do not derail your finances.

How do I enroll in Medicare?
Enrollment for Medicare is automatic for some people at age 65, especially if you are already receiving Social Security benefits. For those who aren’t automatically enrolled, you can sign up during the Initial Enrollment Period, which begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after your birthday month. If you miss this period, you can enroll during the General Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31 each year, with coverage starting July 1.
Can I change my Medicare coverage?
Yes, you can change your Medicare coverage during the Annual Election Period (also known as the Open Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug coverage), which runs from October 15 to December 7 each year. During this period, you can change how you get your Medicare coverage and find a new health plan that better suits your needs.
What is Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap)?
Medigap is supplemental insurance that you can buy from a private company to help pay for costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Medigap policies are only available to people who already have Medicare Part A and Part B, and they can help make your healthcare costs more predictable.
Does Medicare cover dental, vision, and hearing care?
Original Medicare does not cover routine dental, vision, or hearing exams, eyeglasses, or hearing aids. However, Medicare Advantage plans may offer these benefits. If you’re looking for coverage for these services, reviewing different Medicare Advantage plans might be beneficial to find one that meets your needs.
