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.

Frequently asked in Washington

Is Medicare free after 65?

What is Medicare and what does it do?

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for individuals 65 and older, younger people with certain disabilities, and those with End-Stage Renal Disease. It covers a range of medically necessary services, including doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs. For home health care, Medicare can cover skilled nursing care, physical therapy, and occupational therapy when prescribed by a doctor and deemed medically necessary.

What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?

Medicare has limitations. It generally doesn't cover long-term custodial care, most dental care, routine eye exams, cosmetic surgery, hearing aids, or services outside the United States. While it covers medically necessary home health care, non-medical assistance for daily living activities is typically not included. We can help you understand these exclusions for your Washington D.C. care needs.

What are the three requirements for Medicare?

To be eligible for Medicare, you generally must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. You must also be 65 years or older, or younger than 65 with a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease. Meeting these criteria is the first step to accessing benefits for home health care.

How much will Medicare cost me each month?

No, not everyone pays the same for Medicare. Some people pay less due to state assistance, or more if their income is above a certain threshold. We can help you get a clear picture of your potential costs for home health care.
