• Medicare Part B (Medical) - this coverage is a little over $100 per month and it pays roughly 80% of your medical insurance needs (Doctor Visits, Physical Therapy, Durable Medical Equipment, Outpatient Surgeries). Medicare Part B has high income penalties which start at $88,000 for individuals and go up from their in 4 different tiers.
• Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans) - these are plans sold by private insurance companies which take over the administration of your Medicare insurance. The private insurance company will pay your claims and typically have their own networks of doctors/hospitals which you can see for lower deductibles/co-pays. These premiums vary by plan.
• Medicare Part D (Prescription Drugs) - these are plans sold by private insurance companies which handle your prescription coverage. Each plan varies by formularies, premiums, and co-pays so make sure to analyze your prescriptions with the plan before enrolling. Usually if you are not on any prescriptions it is safe to go with the lowest costing plan in your zip code.
