Choices in Medicare

Health care in retirement is available from many sources. Government programs (such as Medicaid and Medicare) offer numerous health care benefits. However, you may need to purchase supplemental health insurance or Medigap, as well. Most Americans are eligible to begin receiving Medicare benefits at age 65, but qualifying for Medicaid may require some planning on your part. In addition to these resources, you may also be entitled to military health care benefits if you are a veteran, retired servicemember, or the spouse or widow of a veteran or retired servicemember. Continuing care retirement communities and nursing homes also offer health care services for older individuals. Depending on your specific needs and circumstances, you may use any number of these resources during your retirement years.

Many factors are weighed when selecting the right plan.  An in-depth review of specific needs (ie prescription costs, provider networks, disease management programs, & plan benefit comparisons) will help to rule out specific options while guiding you to the best possible choices.  There is never a fee to work with an experienced professional in our office.  We are happy to help.
