Many people find it difficult to choose a\u00a0Medicare plan that provides the right\u00a0coverage at a cost they can afford.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you demystify Medicare so you can feel confident and get a\u00a0plan that meets your needs. Here are some\u00a0basic definitions to help you get started.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medicare Part A<\/strong>: Pays a portion of fees associated with hospital stays, skilled nursing facilities, some home health care services and hospice care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medicare Part B<\/strong>: Pays a portion of doctor&#8217;s services, outpatient care at a hospital, x-rays and lab tests, some home health care, durable medical equipment and supplies, ambulance services, physical and occupational therapies and some preventive care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medicare Part C<\/strong>: Also called the Medicare Advantage Program, restricts the doctors and hospitals you can use, but generally pays more of the costs associated with care. That means you&#8217;ll pay less out of pocket when you need to see a doctor, have therapy\u00a0or undergo a procedure or test.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medicare Part D<\/strong>: This is prescription drug coverage. It is not sold by the government, but by private insurance companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trying to decide whether you will benefit more from a traditional Medicare Part A and B or an Advantage Plan is tough.\u00a0That&#8217;s why you need someone\u00a0to help you navigate the murky Medicare waters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-229 size-thumbnail\" style=\"color: #333333;font-style: normal;font-weight: 300\" title=\"blog 1\" src=\"\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blog-12-300x300.png\" alt=\"medicare application photo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to connect\u00a0with a knowledgeable insurance agent who will present your options to you in a clear, concise manner.
