What is Medicare Part D, and do I need it?

Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. If you don’t have other drug coverage—such as through an employer or VA benefits—enrolling in Part D prevents late penalties and reduces medication costs.

How do Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans differ?

Medicare Advantage (Part C) combines hospital, medical, and often drug coverage in one plan but typically has network restrictions. Medigap supplements Original Medicare, covers out-of-pocket costs, and allows nationwide access to any Medicare provider. A separate Part D plan is needed for prescriptions.

Can I change my Medicare plan after I enroll?

You can change Medicare plans during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) or during a Special Enrollment Period if you move or lose other coverage.

We review your health conditions, medications, and preferred doctors, then compare Medicare plans to find one that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D

Medicare can be confusing — but when you break it down, it’s much easier to understand:

Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice, and limited home health services.
Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, and durable medical equipment.
Part C (Medicare Advantage): Combines Parts A & B — often adding dental, vision, hearing, and prescription drug coverage — through private insurance companies.
Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Helps cover the cost of medications through private stand-alone plans.

We’ll explain how these parts fit together and which combination makes the most sense for your situation.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans in Otsego

Medigap plans help pay the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare doesn’t — like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. You can see any doctor that accepts Medicare anywhere in the country, without referrals.

Popular plans include Plan G and Plan N, both offering:

Predictable out-of-pocket costs
Guaranteed renewability — coverage that can’t be canceled due to health
Nationwide provider access

Medicare Advantage Plans in Otsego

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. They often include hospital, medical, and drug coverage, plus extra perks like dental, vision, hearing aids, and fitness benefits.

We’ll help you compare local options from top carriers — and determine whether a network-based plan or Original Medicare + Medigap setup gives you better value and flexibility.

Part D Prescription Drug Plans

Prescription drug costs can add up quickly. A Part D plan helps protect you from those expenses by covering your medications based on your specific prescriptions.

We’ll compare plan formularies, premiums, and pharmacies to help you find a cost-effective fit for your medication needs.
