Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D
Medicare can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down helps:
- Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing, hospice, and some home health care.
- Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers doctor visits, outpatient services, preventive care, and medical equipment.
- Part C (Medicare Advantage): An all-in-one alternative combining Parts A & B, often including extras like dental, vision, hearing, and prescription drug coverage — offered by private insurers.
- Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Helps with the cost of medications, available through private plans.
We’ll explain how these parts work together and which fit your health and budget best.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans in Richland
Medigap plans help pay for costs Original Medicare doesn’t cover — like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. You get the freedom to see any doctor that accepts Medicare nationwide without referrals. Popular options include Plan G and Plan N.
- Guaranteed renewable, even if your health changes
- Predictable out-of-pocket costs
- Nationwide provider access
Medicare Advantage Plans in Richland
Prefer an all-in-one plan? Medicare Advantage (Part C) often bundles hospital, medical, and prescription drug coverage with added benefits like dental, vision, and fitness programs. Be aware of network restrictions and copays; we’ll help you decide if this fits your needs.
Part D Prescription Drug Plans
Prescription drug costs can be a big concern. Part D plans provide coverage tailored to your medications and budget. We’ll help you compare options and enroll in a plan that protects you from high drug costs.

Medicare in Richland, MI — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Medicare Part D, and do I need it?
A: Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage. It helps lower your costs on medications. If you don’t have drug coverage through another plan (like employer insurance or VA benefits), enrolling in Part D is highly recommended to avoid penalties and high out-of-pocket costs.
Q2: How do Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans differ?
A: Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) combine hospital, medical, and usually drug coverage in one plan but have network restrictions and copays. Medigap plans supplement Original Medicare by covering out-of-pocket costs and offer nationwide provider access but don’t include drug coverage—you need a separate Part D plan for that.
Q3: Can I change my Medicare plan after I enroll?
A: Yes. You can switch plans during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15–Dec 7), or qualify for Special Enrollment Periods due to life changes like moving or losing other coverage.
Q4: How do I know which Medicare plan is best for me in Richland?
A: We’ll review your health needs, preferred doctors, and medications. Then, we compare plans to find affordable coverage that fits your lifestyle and budget—no pressure, just expert advice.
Q5: Can you help me enroll remotely?
A: Absolutely. We offer phone and virtual consultations via Zoom, so you don’t have to leave your home to get expert Medicare help.
Q6: What if I have questions after I enroll?
A: We’re here year-round to answer questions, help with claims issues, and assist during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period to make sure your coverage stays right for you.
