Medicare A-to-Z

New Release: Medicare A-to-Z
Your Interactive Guide to the Alphabet Soup of Medicare in 2025
Medicare is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in retirement, but let’s be honest—it’s also one of the most confusing. With constantly changing costs, enrollment deadlines, and a seemingly endless list of plans, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Many people assume that once they turn 65, Medicare just happens. But that’s not the case. Choose the wrong plan, and you could end up paying thousands more than you need to. Miss an enrollment deadline, and you might get hit with lifelong penalties. And if you assume you’re covered for everything, you could be in for a rude (and expensive) awakening when a major medical expense comes up.
The truth is, Medicare isn’t a one-size-fits-all system. What works for your neighbor, your friend, or even your spouse might not be the best option for you. But how do you know what’s right for you?

Medicare shouldn’t be complicated. Let’s make it simple.

Medicare Part D - Medicare Drug Coverage
Two ways to obtain Part D coverage:
Part D can come as a stand-alone plan that can be added to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Private Fee-for-Service plans and Medical Savings Account Plans. You must have both Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B to join a separate Medicare drug plan.
Part D coverage can also be as part of a Medicare Advantage Plan
To be eligible for a Part D plan the Medicare Beneficiary must live within the plan’s service area.

Medicare Supplement (MEDIGAP)
Medicare Supplement Plans also known as “Medigap” are plans sold by private companies that helps cover “gaps” Original Medicare, Parts A and B, do not cover.
Those gaps can include: Copayments; Coinsurance; Deductibles
Medigap policies generally don't cover:
- You must have Medicare Part A and Part B
- Plans don’t include Part D coverage, enrollment in a stand-alone plan is needed
- You cannot be sold a Medigap Plan, if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, unless you switch back to Original Medicare.
- Any standardized Medigap policy is guaranteed renewable even if you have health problems, as long as you pay the premium.
Two ways to obtain Part D coverage:
- Dental
- Hearing
- Vision
- Eyeglasses
- Routine Physical Annual Exams
Frequently Asked Question
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States primarily for people aged 65 and older. It also covers certain younger people with disabilities and individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. Younger people may also qualify if they have certain disabilities or conditions like ESRD.
If you are already receiving Social Security benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B when you turn 65. If not, you will need to sign up during your Initial Enrollment Period, which begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after.
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care (not custodial or long-term care), hospice care, and some home health care. Most people don’t pay a premium for Part A if they paid Medicare taxes while working.
