What affects the price

Medicare pricing isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. Several variables influence what you might pay each month. Your specific location is a major factor, as costs change depending on the state or county where you reside. Another key element is the type of plan you select, such as a Medicare Advantage plan versus a standalone prescription drug policy. Your current health needs and the specific medications you take regularly also impact the total amount. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

A Medicare Supplement, also known as Medigap, is private insurance that helps pay for out-of-pocket costs not covered by Original Medicare, such as copayments and deductibles. You generally need this if you want more predictable healthcare costs throughout the year. These plans do not include prescription drug coverage, so they are often paired with a separate plan.

Frequently asked in Boise City

What is Medicare and what does it do?

Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for people 65 and older, but also for younger people with certain disabilities and End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps pay for hospital stays (Part A), doctor visits and outpatient care (Part B), prescription drugs (Part D), and managed care plans (Part C, or Medicare Advantage).

What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?

Medicare typically does not cover most dental care, vision exams and glasses, hearing aids, long-term care services, cosmetic surgery, or routine foot care. These are common exclusions, and many people choose supplemental plans to help cover these expenses.

What are the three requirements for Medicare?

To be eligible for Medicare, you generally need to be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. You also need to be 65 or older, or under 65 with a qualifying disability, or have End-Stage Renal Disease. These are the primary eligibility criteria.

How much will Medicare cost me each month?

Your monthly Medicare costs depend on your situation. Part A is often premium-free. Part B has a standard monthly premium that can be higher for individuals with higher incomes. Part D prescription drug plans have their own premiums and deductibles, and Medicare Advantage plans have varying costs. We can help clarify these.

Individuals with higher incomes pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA), which increases their Part B premium. Your specific cost is based on your income.

Is Medicare free after 65?

Part A, which covers inpatient hospital stays, is usually premium-free if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. However, Part B, covering doctor visits and outpatient services, has a monthly premium. Higher-income individuals pay more. So, it's not entirely free for everyone.
