Medicare Plans

Understand your Medicare options in plain English.

Three main plan types. Big differences. We'll walk you through them in a free conversation — no jargon, no pressure.

Option 1

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

All-in-one coverage

Bundles hospital (Part A), medical (Part B), and usually prescription (Part D) into one plan. Most include extras like dental, vision, hearing, and fitness benefits.

  • Often $0 monthly premium
  • Extra benefits (dental, vision, hearing)
  • Network-based care
  • Annual out-of-pocket maximum

Option 2

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

Fills the gaps in Original Medicare

Works alongside Original Medicare to pay your deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare.

  • Predictable monthly costs
  • Any provider nationwide
  • No referrals needed
  • Guaranteed renewable

Option 3

Part D Prescription Drug

Standalone drug coverage

Covers your prescription medications. We compare plans against your exact drug list to find the lowest total cost.

  • Match to your medications
  • Compare pharmacy pricing
  • Annual review during AEP
  • Avoid the late-enrollment penalty

Medicare FAQs

How much does your help cost?+

Nothing. Truly. Insurance carriers pay us the same commission whether you enroll through us or directly — but we shop on your behalf and stay with you year after year.

Are you tied to one insurance company?+

No. We're an independent agency representing 30+ top-rated carriers. That means unbiased recommendations based on what fits you best.

What if my doctor isn't in the network?+

We check before you enroll. Doctor access is one of the first things we verify in every plan comparison.

Will my prescriptions be covered?+

We run your exact medication list against each plan's formulary and pharmacy pricing so you see the true total cost — not just the premium.

Do you help after I enroll?+

Yes. We're year-round support. Questions about claims, doctor visits, or coverage? Call us anytime.

Still not sure which plan fits?
