Most people become eligible for Medicare at age 65. Your Initial Enrollment Period generally begins three months before the month you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and continues for three months afterward. If you are still working and covered by an employer health plan, different enrollment rules may apply. We can help you understand when you should enroll and how to avoid unnecessary penalties.

Original Medicare includes Part A for hospital coverage and Part B for medical coverage. You may also choose a separate Part D prescription drug plan and Medicare Supplement Insurance.

Medicare Advantage, also called Part C, is offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans provide your Part A and Part B benefits and often include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits. We can help you compare both approaches based on your doctors, prescriptions, healthcare needs, and budget.

Medicare Supplement Insurance works alongside Original Medicare to help pay certain out-of-pocket expenses that Medicare does not pay. Depending on the plan, this may include deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Medicare Supplement plans do not replace Original Medicare - they supplement it.

You may still want to consider Part D prescription drug coverage even if you currently take few or no medications. Going without Part D or other creditable prescription drug coverage for too long can result in a late-enrollment penalty if you decide to enroll later. We can help you determine whether your existing drug coverage is considered creditable.

Yes. When comparing Medicare plans, we can review your doctors, hospitals, preferred pharmacies, and prescription medications. Provider networks, drug formularies, and costs can vary by plan, so this is an important part of choosing coverage.

There is generally no additional cost to you for working with one of our licensed insurance agents. If you enroll in a plan through us, the insurance company may compensate the agent. Our goal is to help you understand your available options and make an informed decision.

Yes. Medicare Health Connections is an independent insurance brokerage. We work with multiple insurance companies rather than representing only one carrier. This allows our licensed agents to compare available plans we represent based on your individual situation.

Absolutely. Our relationship doesn't end when you enroll. We provide ongoing assistance with questions about your coverage, plan changes, provider or prescription concerns, and annual plan reviews. If your needs change, we're here to help you understand your options.

Yes. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans can change from year to year, including premiums, copays, deductibles, prescription formularies, pharmacy networks, provider networks, and additional benefits. Your healthcare needs can change too. An annual Medicare review can help determine whether your current coverage continues to fit your needs.

Not always. Medicare has specific enrollment periods when you can make certain changes. Some people may also qualify for a Special Enrollment Period because of circumstances such as moving, losing coverage, qualifying for certain assistance programs, or other eligible events. We can help determine what enrollment opportunities may be available to you.

It helps to have your Medicare card, current insurance cards, a current list of prescription medications, your preferred pharmacy, and a list of the doctors and specialists you want to continue seeing. This information allows us to make a more meaningful comparison of your available options.

Working with a local Medicare agent gives you a person you can contact before, during, and after enrollment. At Medicare Health Connections, we focus on personal service, education, and ongoing support. We can meet with clients locally, speak by phone, or arrange a virtual appointment depending on your needs.
