Medicare
Supplements, Advantage plans, and Part D, explained without the sales pitch.
Turning 65, or leaving an employer plan after 65, comes with a pile of mail and a deadline. We'll sort out the parts: what Original Medicare covers, what a Medicare Supplement plan fills in, how a Medicare Advantage plan is different, and whether you need a separate Part D drug plan.
The right answer depends on your doctors, your prescriptions, and how much you travel, not on which plan advertises the most. We'll go through your specific list and tell you what fits. If what you already have works, we'll say so.
Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program to get information on all of your options.
