Frequently Asked Questions About Medicare

  • When should I sign up for Medicare?

    Most people should enroll during their Initial Enrollment Period, which starts three months before the month you turn 65 and lasts for seven months. If you're still working and have employer coverage, different rules may apply.

  • What’s the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medigap?

    Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans bundle your benefits into one plan, while Medigap policies work with Original Medicare to help cover out-of-pocket costs. The best choice depends on your healthcare needs and preferences.

  • Does Medicare cover dental and vision?

    Original Medicare does not cover routine dental or vision care. You can add separate plans, or choose a Medicare Advantage plan that includes those benefits.

  • Can I switch my Medicare plan later?

    Yes. Each year during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 – Dec 7), you can switch Medicare Advantage or Part D plans. Medigap changes have different rules based on your state and situation.
