Am I Eligible for Medicare?

First, let’s make sure you’re eligible for Medicare.

  • You are 65 or older

  • You are a citizen or permanent resident who has lived in the United States at least five years

  • You or your spouse has worked for at least 10 years

  • You or your spouse is a government employee or retiree who has paid Medicare payroll taxes

  • You or your spouse has been on disability for 2 or more years

Now, let’s talk about what Medicare covers.

The Basics. There are four components of Medicare: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D.

Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospitalization, skilled nursing, home healthcare and hospice

Medicare Part B covers doctor visits, labs, x-rays, outpatient surgery and diagnostic services

Did you know?

As long you have creditable coverage (group healthcare plan, VA benefits, etc.) you can delay taking part B as long as you are still working. This saves you $164.90 every month (2023)

That’s Original Medicare. Parts C and D is where we’ll use our expertise to make sure you get the best, most cost- effective supplemental coverage.

Medicare Part C, also known as a Medicare Advantage Plan, includes all of the services provided by Part A and Part B, and usually includes Part D

Medicare Part D is devoted to prescription drug coverage. This helps lower your prescription drug cost, helps cover the cost of outpatient prescription drugs, and protects against future increases in drug costs.

Parts A and B may only take you so far. Investing in the best Medicare Supplement or Advantage plan is key to your financial and physical health. That’s what we’re here to help you do.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s find the additional plan that makes sense for you and your family right now– and tomorrow.

Let’s find a plan that works best for you

Medicare Supplement Plans

(or Medigap) is private health insurance that helps cover the numerous “gaps” and “holes” often found in primary Medicare programs. These gaps include:

  • Copayments

  • Coinsurance

  • Deductibles

  • Blood Transfusions

  • Nursing Care Coinsurance

  • Foreign Travel Emergencies

  • Hospice Care Coinsurance or Copayments

These gaps can be extremely costly. They can also impact the quality of care you receive, and put a strain on your finances.

Coupling your Medicare coverage with a solid Medicare Supplement Plan

ensures that additional costs are covered beyond what Medicare takes care of. You don’t have to dip into your personal savings. Too many retirees go bankrupt from medical bills, and The Medicare Guys are here to ensure that this does not happen to you. That way, instead of gaps, you can focus on:

  • Traveling

  • Fishing

  • Spending time with family

  • Relaxing on the front porch with the peace of mind that we take pride in providing to you
