Medicare & Senior Insurance
Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage, also called Medicare Part C, combines the benefits of Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) into a single plan with additional coverage, like dental, vision, hearing, and more.
Medicare Supplement
Medicare Supplement, or Medigap insurance, bridges the coverage gap left by Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and covers costs like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
Prescription Drug Plans (PDP)
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) work in tandem with Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and Medicare Advantage plans to provide prescription drug coverage.
Medicare Dental & Vision
Dental and vision plans are additional ancillary products beneficiaries can purchase (as standalone or part of Medicare Advantage) since they are not included in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) coverage.
Senior Wellness Programs
Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, and Medicare Advantage all offer different types and levels of senior wellness coverage for Medicare beneficiaries.
