Frequently Asked Questions
Exploring Medicare can be confusing. Our FAQ section is tailored to offer clarity and address your queries.
What is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as for some younger people with disabilities and those with End-Stage Renal Disease.
What are the different parts of Medicare?
Medicare consists of four parts: Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage plans), and Part D (prescription drug coverage).
Who is eligible for Medicare?
Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. Others may qualify earlier due to certain disabilities or medical conditions, such as End-Stage Renal Disease.
Are there costs associated with Medicare?
Yes, while Part A is usually premium-free if you've paid Medicare taxes for a certain period, Part B has a monthly premium. There are also deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for services.
When can I make changes to my Medicare coverage?
You can make changes during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) or during special enrollment periods if you qualify due to certain life events.
What happens if I miss my Medicare Initial Enrollment Period?
If you miss your IEP, you can enroll during the General Enrollment Period (GEP) from January 1 to March 31, but you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty.
How do I enroll in Medicare?
Enrollment can be automatic for those receiving Social Security benefits at 65, or it can be done manually through the Social Security Administration website or local office.
What is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage?
