Medicare is Confusing

Medicare can seem like a confusing web of options for those who are turning 65. For that reason, many consumers rely on licensed professionals for help. Turning 65 brings along a sense of freedom from work but with many healthcare options associated with aging.  While you become eligible for Medicare, you will need to face a lot of healthcare decisions.

You might be already aware of various parts of original Medicare.  Also, you will have to determine whether to choose part A, B, C, D or Medicare Supplement Plan instead.  Original Medicare is the federal program that administers your Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/or Part B (Medical Insurance) benefits.  Most people are automatically enrolled in Part A when they turn 65 years of age.  However, they can choose if they want to be enrolled in Part B.  Part B has a monthly premium and yearly deductible.

Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans) and Part D (Prescription Drug Plans) offer many coverage options, at different price points, as quoted by various private insurance companies.
