Need Medicare Coverage?
Medicare basics are shown below
- Medicare Part A - Hospital Insurance. This portion of Medicare is free if you have worked 40 quarters. You need Medicare Part A once you have turned 65 and this coverage will commence when you turn 65 unless you have not worked the required time length.
- Medicare Part B - Medical Insurance (doctors, outpatient services). This portion comes with a premium of a little over $100 per month. Higher income earners are required to pay a high income earner tax.
- Medicare Part C - Medicare Advantage Plans. These are insurance policies run by insurance companies that manage your Medicare covered services. Not required!
- Medicare Part D - Prescription Drug Coverage. This coverage is required and will help cover you drugs at a level premium.
Do I need Medicare Supplement Insurance?
You need Medicare supplement insurance to cover the gaps in Part A and B. There are some costs that you can probably handle on your own; however, it is nice to have supplemental coverage for the large expenses that come in catastrophic cases.
