Seniors age 65 and over have the option to enroll in the Government funded Medicare plan.  This special plan provides low cost, high-quality health insurance coverage to those who have reached the age of retirement and the status of Senior Citizen. 

 

Medicare is available only to those who are US citizens and are at least 65 years old.  Medicare is not a one size fits all plan either; there are four different options available to choose from depending on the needs of the senior.  Each plan has different coverage limits and different prices.

 

Many people find that even with their coverage from Medicare, there are other health care expenses that are left unpaid for in their health needs, including  areas like some prescriptions drugs, in home nursing care or specialty health treatments.  Because these services are generally quite expensive, it is helpful for a Medicare recipient to purchase Medicare Supplemental Insurance.  This insurance, also commonly called “Medigap” insurance, fills the voids that are left with Medicare and provides seniors on Medicare  with more complete health insurance coverage.

 

Like Medicare, there are several options to choose from when selecting a Medicare Supplemental Insurance plan.  Each plan offers different levels of protection, and costs vary according to the plan selected.  With ten different Medigap options to choose from, there is a plan for each person that can provide you with the health coverage you need.

 

Take advantage of your senior status and enroll in Medicare, if you have not already done so, and look into purchasing a Medicare Supplemental Insurance policy to ensure that you are covered for other health care expenses.
