Medicare Info's Mission

Due to some of the limitations of Original Medicare, a market of private-sector insurance products has developed over the years. The additional options afforded by these private-sector plans allows Medicare recipients to find Medicare insurance coverage that fits their individual needs. Medicare Info's mission is to help people understand these products and provide licensed insurance agents to assist in the decision making process.

Medicare insurance plans can be described as:

Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans

Sometimes called "Medigap" insurance, they may cover the things traditional Medicare doesn't. They help pay for "gaps" in Original Medicare and include standardized benefit packages. All lettered plans offer the same benefits, regardless of carrier.

Medicare Advantage Plans

An alternative to Original Medicare with any of several managed-care style plans like Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) and Provider Organization (PPO) plans. These types of plans can limit out-of-pocket expenses every year and may require you to stay in-network for services at reduced costs and sometimes include prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Part B

Medical Insurance to cover products and services that are not covered by Part A, generally on an outpatient basis. The two types of services that Part B covers are medically necessary services and preventive services. Medically necessary services are those that are required to diagnose or treat a medical condition. Preventive services are services that can prevent illness or discover it at an early stage, when treatment would be most effective. These two covered types of services are extensive and include many outpatient services. After the deductible is met, Part B will pay for 80% of the Medicare-approved services and the patient typically pays the remaining 20%. Part B, unlike Part A, requires a monthly premium. Part A and Part B make up what is called Original Medicare.

Understanding the geographic service area

In order to qualify for most Medicare-related plans, you must meet the standard Medicare eligibility requirements and live in the "geographic service area."

Medicare-related plans are regulated by each state and approved for sale within geographic service areas. In most cases, these areas are organized on a county-by-county basis; in some large urban markets, they're organized on a city or even neighborhood basis.

If you move out of your geographic service area during a plan's coverage term, you will usually have a Special Election Period that allows you to enroll in another Medicare-related plan approved for sale in your new location or switch back to Original Medicare.
