The 2025 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is here!
-
Original Medicare is the foundational healthcare program provided by the federal government. It consists of Parts A & B, which cover things like doctor or hospital visits and preventative care.
-
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an alternative form of coverage to Orignal Medicare. These plans are offered by private insurance companies and combine Parts A & B into a single plan while offering members “extra benefits” that would typically not be covered under Original Medicare.
-
Medicare Supplement plans are intended to work with Original Medicare. They help to cover, or, “fill the gaps” in the healthcare costs that aren’t typically covered by Original Medicare. These plans are offered by private insurance companies and come in a wide range of standardized options.
-
Also known as Medicare Part D, Prescription Drug Plans are standalone policies offered by private insurance companies that provide members with coverage for prescription medications.
-
Special Needs Plans are Medicare Advantage plans designed for individuals with unique healthcare needs - such as chronic conditions, specific illnesses, or those who qualify for both Medicare & Medicaid (Dual-Eligible).
There are ways for Veterans to complement their health coverage with options that won’t replace Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage.
We hope to honor and serve our Veterans in ensuring they receive any and all benefits they may be entitled to.
