Understand Medicare

The Four Parts of Medicare

Medicare is broken into four parts, each covering different services. Knowing what each one does is the first step to choosing the right coverage.

A

Hospital Insurance

Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health services.

  • Most people pay $0 premium
  • Inpatient care & surgeries
  • Hospice and skilled nursing
Learn more about Part A →
B

Medical Insurance

Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, lab tests, and durable medical equipment.

  • Monthly premium (set by Medicare)
  • Doctor visits & outpatient care
  • Preventive services & screenings
Learn more about Part B →
C

Medicare Advantage

An “all-in-one” alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurance companies. Often includes Parts A, B, and D.

  • Typically includes prescription coverage
  • May include dental, vision, hearing
  • Network-based plans (HMO, PPO)
Learn more about Part C →
D

Prescription Drugs

Covers prescription medications. Available as a stand-alone plan or bundled into a Medicare Advantage plan.

  • Helps lower out-of-pocket drug costs
  • Plans use formularies (drug lists)
  • Late enrollment penalty if delayed

When to Enroll

Medicare Enrollment Periods

Missing the right window can mean delayed coverage and lifelong penalties. Here are the periods you need to know.

Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)

Your 7-month window around your 65th birthday — 3 months before, the month of, and 3 months after. Most people enroll here.

Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)

October 15 – December 7 each year. You can change Medicare Advantage and Part D plans for the following year.

Medicare Advantage OEP

January 1 – March 31. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch once or return to Original Medicare.

Special Enrollment Period (SEP)

Triggered by qualifying life events — moving, losing employer coverage, etc. We can help you confirm if you qualify.

Medicare Plans

Compare Your Coverage Options

Once you understand the parts of Medicare, the next step is choosing how to get your coverage. Here are the most common paths.

Original Medicare

Parts A & B from the federal government

The traditional “fee-for-service” option. Go to almost any provider that accepts Medicare nationwide, no networks.

  • See any Medicare-accepting provider
  • No referrals required
  • No prescription drug coverage included
  • No out-of-pocket spending limit

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

Pairs with Original Medicare

Helps pay the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare doesn't — like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.

  • Predictable costs and minimal bills
  • Works with any Medicare doctor nationwide
  • Standardized plans (A through N)
  • Stand-alone Part D drug plan needed

Part D — Prescription Drugs

Stand-alone drug coverage

Helps cover prescription medications. Pairs with Original Medicare or a Medicare Supplement plan.

  • Lowers prescription drug costs
  • Each plan has its own formulary
  • Avoids late-enrollment penalty
  • Pharmacies vary by plan network

Special Needs Plans (SNPs)

For people with specific conditions

A type of Medicare Advantage plan tailored to people with chronic conditions, who live in institutions, or who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

  • Targeted benefits for your condition
  • Care coordination built in
  • Often includes prescription coverage
  • Eligibility-based enrollment
Life Insurance

Protect the People Who Depend on You

The right life insurance pays a tax-free benefit to your loved ones — replacing income, paying off debts, or leaving a legacy. We help you compare term, whole life, IUL, and final expense from multiple top-rated carriers.

Term Life

Affordable coverage for a set number of years. Best for replacing income while you have dependents at home.

  • Lowest cost per dollar of coverage
  • 10, 15, 20, or 30-year terms
  • Simple, predictable

Whole Life

Permanent coverage with guaranteed cash value growth. Used for estate planning, wealth transfer, and lifetime protection.

  • Coverage that won't expire
  • Guaranteed cash value
  • Tax-deferred growth

Indexed Universal Life

Permanent coverage with market-linked growth potential and a 0% floor. Tax-advantaged retirement income supplementation.

  • Upside tied to market index
  • Principal protection
  • Flexible premium & death benefit

Final Expense

Small whole-life policy designed to cover funeral and end-of-life costs. Easier underwriting for seniors.

  • $5,000 – $25,000 typical
  • Simplified or guaranteed issue
  • Permanent coverage

Annuities

Predictable Retirement Income

Annuities are one of the few financial tools that can guarantee income you can't outlive. We help you decide if one fits your retirement plan — and which type makes sense.

MYGA

Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity — the annuity equivalent of a CD with often higher rates and tax-deferred growth.

  • Fixed rate for set term
  • Tax-deferred
  • Conservative choice

Fixed Indexed

Market-linked growth potential with a 0% floor. Principal protection plus upside potential.

  • Won't lose money in down markets
  • Optional lifetime income riders
  • Long-term accumulation

Income Annuity

Convert a lump sum into guaranteed income — immediately (SPIA) or at a future date (DIA). Personal pension.

  • Income for life or set period
  • Higher payouts than withdrawals
  • Pension-like predictability

Tax Deferral

Annuities grow tax-deferred. Useful when you've maxed out other retirement accounts and want more tax-advantaged space.

  • No annual contribution limits
  • No taxes until withdrawal
  • Estate planning flexibility

Ancillary Coverage

Fill the Gaps Your Health Plan Doesn't

Even great health insurance leaves gaps — dental cleanings, hospital copays, cancer treatment costs. Ancillary coverage handles the bills your primary plan doesn't, usually for a small monthly premium.

Dental, Vision & Hearing

Stand-alone DVH plan covering routine dental, eye exams & glasses, and hearing aids — often the biggest gap in Original Medicare.

  • Cleanings, exams, X-rays
  • Frames and lenses
  • Hearing aid allowance

Hospital Indemnity

Pays cash benefits for hospital admissions and services. Pairs especially well with Medicare Advantage to offset per-day copays.

  • Daily admission benefit
  • Cash paid directly to you
  • Use for any expense

Cancer / Critical Illness

Lump-sum cash benefit on diagnosis of cancer, heart attack, stroke, or other covered conditions. Cover gaps and lost income.

  • Lump-sum at diagnosis
  • Use for any expense
  • Affordable monthly premium

Short-Term Care

Covers home care, assisted living, or skilled nursing for a limited period. Easier underwriting than full long-term care.

  • Up to ~360 days of care
  • Easier to qualify
  • Bridge to recovery or LTC
