Medicare
As your health partner for life, we want to ensure you are aware of the plans we participate in.
At age 65, you’re eligible for Medicare Parts A and B, even if you are still working. You may also qualify based on a spouse’s work history if they are a qualified wage earner. Individuals under 65 with certain disabilities may also be eligible. When you become eligible, you enter an Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which lasts seven months—beginning three months before your 65th birthday and ending three months after.

What’s the Difference Between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) combines Medicare Parts A and B into a single plan and often includes prescription drug coverage (Part D). These plans replace Original Medicare, though you still retain your Medicare card.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans help cover out-of-pocket costs not paid by Original Medicare, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. These plans work alongside Original Medicare rather than replacing it.
