How We Provide Medicare Help
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for people aged 65 and older. At Glidden Group, we offer guidance to help you understand the different parts of Medicare, including Medicare Advantage plans and prescription drug coverage. Our services help you determine which options fit best with your health needs and budget.
Understanding Your Medicare Health Options
Understanding the options available through Medicare is crucial in selecting the right plan. Here’s a quick overview:
- Original Medicare: Includes Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance).
- Medicare Advantage Plans: Also known as Part C, it combines Parts A and B and often includes additional benefits.
- Prescription Drug Coverage: Known as Part D, this helps cover the cost of prescription drugs.
- Medigap: Supplemental policies that help pay some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
Local Counseling and Advocacy Programs
State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs) provide free counseling and help to people with Medicare. These services can help you understand your Medicare choices and answer any questions you might have about benefits or plan options available in your area.
