Learn Medicare with Confidence

Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily available to individuals age 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with qualifying disabilities.

While Medicare provides valuable healthcare coverage, understanding how the different parts work together is essential to choosing coverage that fits your needs.

Our educational resources help you understand Medicare before enrollment so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Our Medicare education program covers the topics most people wish they had understood before enrolling.

Medicare Enrollment Periods

Learn when you can enroll in Medicare, important deadlines, and how timing can affect your coverage options.

Topics include:

• Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)
• General Enrollment Period (GEP)
• Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
• Special Enrollment Periods (SEP)

Understanding these enrollment windows can help you avoid unnecessary delays and penalties.

Get a clear understanding of:

• Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)
• Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)
• What Original Medicare covers
• What Original Medicare does not cover
• Out-of-pocket costs and deductibles

Many people are surprised to learn that Original Medicare does not cover everything.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

• Helps cover certain out-of-pocket costs
• Provides flexibility in choosing providers

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

• Offered through private insurance companies

Prescription drug costs can significantly affect retirement budgets.
