Enrolling in Medicare

In your introduction to Medicare, it is important to understand the numerous variables in the Medicare enrollment process. How do you enroll? Who is eligible? When does the Open Enrollment Period begin? Are there penalties for enrolling late? How does Medicare Advantage work? Medicare Solutions helps answer each of these questions, walking you through the application process, as well as how to determine eligibility. We explain possible late penalties and how to avoid them, plus look at Open Enrollment Period and Special Enrollment Periods. When enrolling in Medicare, we can help you find answers to your Medicare questions.

How to Pick Your Plan

Choosing your Medicare plan can be very confusing. Plans might have different benefits and costs, and even their own set of rules governing enrollment. How do you know which plan may be right for you? Do you need a Medicare Supplement Plan? What about a Prescription Drug Plan? Medicare Solutions helps walk you through your Medicare plan options, taking you through the ABC’s of Medicare to help find the right plan for you.

Traveling with Medicare

How does Medicare work when you travel? What happens if you take a cruise? What happens when you travel within the U.S. versus traveling abroad? Medicare Solutions can help you understand how travel affects your health care and Medicare coverage, and whether there’s a difference between traveling with Medicare Part A and Part B and traveling with Medicare Advantage.

Medicare FAQs

The Medicare Solutions Medicare FAQ page answers some of the most common questions people may have about Medicare coverage. Does Medicare cover medical equipment? What’s the Medicare donut hole? Is Medicare the same thing as Medicaid? What about preventive care, does Medicare cover that? We let you know which types of plans cover certain medical supplies, what costs you may expect from the donut hole (and when it ends), and help you compare the benefits of Medicare Advantage with those of Medicare Part A and Part B.
