Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as younger people with certain disabilities or End-Stage Renal Disease. It provides coverage for hospitalizations, doctor services, and prescription drugs, with different parts covering different aspects. We can help you understand what each part offers.

Medicare generally doesn't cover services like most dental care, routine eye exams for glasses, cosmetic surgery, hearing aids, and long-term custodial care. It's important to be aware of these exclusions to plan your health expenses effectively. Discussing your needs with us can help you identify potential gaps in coverage.

To qualify for Medicare, you typically need to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident, be at least 65 years old (or have a qualifying disability), and have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. There are also options if you haven't met the work history requirements. A call can confirm your eligibility and walk you through the next steps.

Your monthly Medicare costs depend on the specific plan you choose, your income, and whether you enroll in supplemental coverage. While Part A is often premium-free, Part B has a standard premium that can increase for higher earners, and Part D and Medicare Advantage plans have their own premiums.

The standard Medicare Part B premium serves as a baseline, but it's not a fixed amount for everyone. Higher-income individuals pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) on top of the standard premium. Your monthly cost is determined by your specific income bracket and the chosen plan.
