Medicare Enrollment 101
Who can enroll
If you are over 65 and a U.S. resident, you qualify for Medicare. If you’re under 65, you may still qualify if you have Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), End Stage Renal Disease, or other disabilities.
Why enroll
Medicare is a federally funded healthcare program that helps those over 65 and some under 65 get the healthcare benefits they need. It’s important to keep yourself healthy, so when health emergencies come your way, Medicare coverage can help you get back on your feet.
What to know before enrolling
Medicare can be complicated, but there are a few basics to know before jumping into a new plan.
- Each Medicare plan has different benefits:
- Part A - hospital insurance
- Part B - medical insurance
- Part C (Medicare Advantage) - varies by plan, but may include vision and dental in addition to Original Medicare benefits
- Part D - drug/prescription coverage
- Medigap (Supplement) - added on to Original Medicare and helps pay for expenses
- Consider what you can afford. Some premiums start as low as $0 per month, but, depending on the plan you choose, it can go up rather significantly.

How to enroll

If you’re looking for additional benefits, getting a Medicare Advantage or a supplemental plan might be the way to go. Our experts can help you find the right Medicare Advantage plan for you.
