Medicare Insurance
Medicare insurance is a federal health insurance program primarily designed for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities or specific medical conditions. It provides essential coverage for healthcare services, including hospital stays, outpatient care, preventive services, and prescription drugs.
Medicare is divided into several parts—Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage plans), and Part D (prescription drug coverage)—offering flexibility to meet diverse healthcare needs. By reducing out-of-pocket healthcare costs, Medicare ensures access to quality care and financial protection, promoting better health and well-being for seniors and eligible individuals.

Medicare Supplements Insurance
Medicare Supplement Insurance, which is also known as Medigap. It helps cover healthcare costs that the basic supplements don’t, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. It is designed to fill the gaps in your coverage, ensuring you have access to essential care without unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
With various plans available, you can choose the one that best suits your healthcare needs and budget. Medigap policies are standardized and accepted nationwide, providing peace of mind and flexibility wherever you go. While Original Medicare covers many expenses, a Medicare Supplement plan can provide the added security you need for a healthier future.

Who Qualifies for
Medicare Insurance?
People typically qualify for Medicare based on age or certain medical conditions. Most individuals become eligible when they turn 65, provided they are U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents who have lived in the U.S. for at least five consecutive years.
In addition to age-based eligibility, people under age 65 may qualify if they have been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for at least 24 months. This includes individuals with conditions like end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Once eligible, individuals who are already receiving Social Security benefits are automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. Those who are not receiving Social Security benefits can apply for Medicare through the Social Security Administration when they turn 65 or meet other eligibility criteria. It's important to enroll during the initial enrollment period to avoid late penalties and ensure there’s no gap in coverage.
