Not exactly.

The exact cost can depend on your income and the plans you choose. Call us for a free estimate to see what your specific costs in St. Paul might look like.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps cover doctor visits, hospital stays, and other health care costs. Understanding the different parts – A, B, C, and D – is key to getting the right coverage for your needs in St. Paul.

Generally, Medicare doesn't cover routine dental care, eye exams for glasses, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, long-term care, or services outside the U.S. It's important to know these limitations when choosing a plan. We can help you understand what's typically excluded and how supplemental plans might help fill those gaps in St. Paul.

The three main requirements for Medicare eligibility are being a U.S. citizen or legal resident, being 65 or older (or under 65 with a disability or ESRD), and having paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years (for premium-free Part A). If you don't meet the tax requirement, you may still be able to enroll by paying a monthly premium.

Your monthly Medicare cost varies. Part A usually has no premium if you qualify, but Part B has a standard premium that can be higher based on your income. Prescription drug plans (Part D) and Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) have their own premiums and potential copays. Call us for a free quote tailored to your situation in St. Paul.

No, not everyone pays the exact same amount for Medicare. Also, this doesn't include premiums for Part D or Medicare Advantage plans. Get a personalized estimate by calling us.
