Understanding Medicare can feel overwhelming. We help seniors and families better understand their Medicare coverage options, enrollment periods, and supplemental coverage choices.
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people age 65 and older. Some younger individuals with disabilities may also qualify.
What Does Medicare Cover?
Medicare coverage may include hospital care, doctor visits, medical services, prescription drug coverage, and optional supplemental coverage depending on the plan selected.
Medicare Includes:
- Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)
- Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)
- Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage)
- Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage)
When Can You Enroll in Medicare?
Most people become eligible for Medicare around age 65. Enrollment timing is important because missing enrollment windows may result in penalties or delays in coverage.

Your Initial Enrollment Period begins 3 months before your 65th birthday and ends 3 months after.
