Between Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement Plans, and Medicare Advantage Plans, choosing the best plans for you can be difficult. Luckily, there are only a few steps you need to take to figure out which path is best for you.
- Choose an agent. An agent can help you refine your goals and figure out which type of plan is best for you. Choosing an agent early in the process can help you avoid frustrations later on.
- Choose between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. If you have additional needs, like special needs, vision needs, or need dental insurance, Medicare Advantage may be better. If your priority is to save money on your monthly premiums, Original Medicare may be best for you. An agent can help you make this major decision.
- If you choose Original Medicare, you need to decide whether you want a Medicare Supplement Plan or if you plan to go without supplemental insurance coverage.
