We guide you through plan comparisons, highlighting benefits like prescription drug coverage, doctor networks, and additional services, to ensure you're well-prepared for your healthcare future.
What is the difference between Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D?
Medicare Part A covers hospital insurance, Part B covers medical insurance, Part C (Medicare Advantage) is an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, and Part D covers prescription drugs. We can help you understand which parts are relevant to your situation and how they work together.
How do I choose the right Medicare Advantage plan?
Choosing the right Medicare Advantage plan depends on your health needs, preferred doctors, prescription medications, and budget. We'll walk you through the various options, explaining benefits, costs, and network restrictions to find a plan that's a perfect fit.
If someone is new to Medicare or wants your help, what's the best way for them to get started and what should they expect?

You'll meet with a live, dedicated agent who will discuss your specific situation, explain your Medicare options in detail, and help you understand what to expect from your coverage. Our personalized approach ensures all your questions are answered in a comfortable, direct setting.
When can I enroll in a Medicare plan?
There are specific enrollment periods, including your Initial Enrollment Period when you first become eligible, the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), and Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs). We can help you identify the best time for you to enroll or make changes to your plan.
Are there any programs to help with Medicare costs?
Yes, there are programs like Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) and Extra Help for prescription drug costs that can assist with premiums, deductibles, and co-payments. We can help you determine if you qualify and guide you through the application process.
Can I keep my own doctor with Medicare?
With Original Medicare (Parts A & B), you can generally see any doctor that accepts Medicare. With Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), you may need to choose doctors within the plan's network. We'll help you verify if your current doctors are covered by the plans you're considering.
