Health Insurance

Additional Coverage and Useful Resources.

Welcome to our article on additional coverage that can provide invaluable support! In this article, we will explore two important resources: Medigap and Medicaid. Knowing about these additional options can make a difference in the quality of healthcare you receive and your financial peace of mind. Discover how these tools can complement your Medicare coverage and provide you with greater protection and assistance during crucial moments. Let's get started!

In addition to the main parts of Medicare, here are some additional coverages that may be relevant to you before making a decision:

  • Medigap: Supplemental insurance plans that help cover the costs that Medicare doesn't pay. 
  • Medicaid: A health insurance program for individuals with low income and limited resources. It can work alongside Medicare to provide more comprehensive coverage.

It's important to note that Medicare doesn't cover all medical expenses in full. Medicare beneficiaries generally have to pay monthly premiums, deductibles, and copayments for covered services. Additionally, there are certain coverage limitations, and some specific services and treatments may not be included.

It's recommended that individuals interested in Medicare educate themselves in detail about the different aspects of the program and the options available to choose the coverage that best suits their needs. Evaluate your needs, budget, and eligibility to make an informed decision about the health insurance that best fits you.

If you're unsure about what type of health insurance is right for you, we recommend speaking with an insurance advisor or seeking help from community organizations that provide assistance on healthcare matters. They can guide you and help you make the best decision.

Useful Resources:

  • Official Medicare website (medicare.gov): A treasure trove of reliable information about Medicare and its options.
  • Medicare Counseling Program (SHIP - State Health Insurance Assistance Program): Local experts who can help you understand and choose the right Medicare plan for you.
  • Medicare phone numbers: You can call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to get answers to your questions.
