Your options

Medicare has a few moving parts.

Original Medicare

Parts A and B cover hospital and medical care. We'll explain what they pay for, what they don't, and what you'll still owe.

Medicare Advantage

Part C plans from private carriers that bundle hospital and medical coverage, often with extras.

Medicare Supplement

Medigap plans that help pay for what Original Medicare leaves behind, like deductibles and coinsurance.

Prescription Drug Plans

Part D coverage that fits the medications you take and the pharmacies you use.

Our process

Finding the right plan is easier than you think.

01

Consultation

We start with a conversation about your household, your budget, and what matters most to you.

02

Comparison

Your advisor compares plans from the carriers we work with in your area and shows you how they stack up.

03

Analysis

We go through the fine print and what each plan will really cost you, in plain English.

04

Enrollment

When you've picked a plan, your advisor takes care of the paperwork and gets you enrolled.

Key dates

Timing matters with Medicare.

01

Initial Enrollment Period

A seven-month window around your 65th birthday. It starts three months before the month you turn 65 and ends three months after.

02

Annual Enrollment Period

Every year from October 15 to December 7, you can review and change your Medicare Advantage and drug coverage.

03

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment

From January 1 to March 31, if you're already in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to a different one or go back to Original Medicare.
