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

What is Medicare and what does it do?

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, younger individuals with disabilities, and those with End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps cover costs for hospital stays, doctor visits, and prescription drugs. Understanding the different parts of Medicare is crucial for making informed decisions about your health coverage.

What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?

Medicare generally excludes coverage for services like most dental care, vision exams for glasses, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, and long-term custodial care. Some Medicare Advantage plans may offer benefits for these areas. It's important to discuss your specific needs with a specialist to identify potential coverage gaps.

What are the three requirements for Medicare?

To be eligible for Medicare, you typically need to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident for at least five years, be 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability. Missing your initial enrollment period can result in penalties. Meeting these basic eligibility criteria is the first step.

How much will Medicare cost me each month?

Individuals with higher incomes pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). Programs like the Medicare Savings Program can help reduce these monthly costs for eligible residents in Washington D.C.
