If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you have more choices than ever before! You can cover your medical services in a variety of ways. Since everybody, including seniors and disabled people, have different health needs, expectations, and budgets, choices are good! However, all of these choices can make your research complicated. You need to be able to understand how Medicare works in order make the best choice for yourself, or for a senior citizen that you care about.
Medicare Supplements and Medicare Advantage
You need to understand how orginal Medicare works, and then you can compare supplemental Medicare Health Insurance Policies. Medi-gap policies, or Medicare supplements, help fill in coverage gaps that original Medicare Part A and Part B do not pay for. Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, are private insurance policies that bundle all Medicare coverage in one plan.

Medicare Prescription Coverage
More recently, Medicare beneficiaries have access to Prescription coverage through Medicare Part D. You can purchase these plans from private insurers. They may come as their own policies, or they may come bundled with an MA (Medicare Advantage) plan.
Of course, Medicare health insurance choices will vary by your location. Some plans are unique to counties, states, and/or zip codes. We make it easy to find the available Medicare Health Insurance Plans in your zip code!
