Understanding your options under Medicare can be a complicated and daunting task. We are here to help!
Health insurance can be a confusing landscape in Forest Hills, Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Walker, Wyoming, MI, and the surrounding areas, even when it comes to retirement and Medicare plans. This is why working with a trust partner like Weadock & Associates can really help to ensure that clients are getting what they need with their insurance coverage. Specifically, when it comes to Medicare insurance, Medicare Part D as well as Medicare supplement plans can add to the confusion. Understanding what these two important insurance options do will ensure that you are getting a complete health insurance plan.
Part D of Medicare is meant to cover prescription drugs that you may take, while Medicare supplement plans are designed to help cover deductibles, copayments, and other expenses that are related to Medicare Parts A and B. Contact us today to learn more about these important additions to your Medicare insurance.
When you opt for traditional Medicare insurance coverage, you will be getting Parts A and B for your medical insurance. But there is also Part D coverage which is the prescription drug coverage of your medical insurance. This Part D of Medicare is administered by private insurance companies and is either an optional piece with Parts A and B of traditional Medicare, or is often included with some Medicare Advantage plans.
Medicare supplement plans are often referred to as Medigap plans because they provide a bridge over the gap of deductibles, copayments, and more. While there is a cost to have a Medicare supplement plan, often the cost of the plan is less than the cost of paying for the things that the supplement plan covers. This will need to be an individual choice by the client if they find that they are using their Medicare more than they anticipated.
Not all Part D plans or Medicare supplement plans are the same, so it is important to compare the costs and coverages so that you are getting the right option for your needs. For example, with Part D plans, some of them have deductibles that must be met before the plan will cover prescriptions. Not all plans will cover the same drugs either. With Medicare supplement plans, you will want to compare the costs of each plan as well as what coverages they offer for the cost.
Both Part D and Medicare supplement plans are important aspects of your overall health insurance coverage as retirees in Forest Hills, Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Walker, Wyoming, MI, and the surrounding areas. With all of the variability between these plans, working with our team at Weadock & Associates will provide you with the important comparison assistance needed to ensure you are getting the right coverage.
