Why Medicare Matters at 65

Turning 65 is more than just a milestone; it's also the age you become eligible for Medicare. This government-funded health insurance program can be your safety net for medical expenses as you age.

Enrollment Periods: Timing is Everything

It's crucial to enroll in Medicare during the Initial Enrollment Period, which starts three months before you turn 65 and extends three months after your 65th birthday. Missing this window can result in penalties and delayed coverage.

Understanding Medicare Parts


Medicare Part A

Covers inpatient hospital stays, hospice care, and some home health care.


Medicare Part B

Covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.


Medicare Part D

Offers prescription drug coverage and can be added to Original Medicare.

Medicare Advantage: An Alternative Option

Known as Part C, Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers like Miner Agency Insurance. These plans include coverage from Part A, Part B, and often Part D, along with additional benefits. Call us at 815-273-7722 to explore your options.

Cost Considerations

While Part A is usually premium-free if you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes, Parts B and D do have premiums. To get a full understanding of the potential costs, don't hesitate to contact us at 815-273-7722.

Medigap: Bridging the Gaps

A Medigap policy can help you cover out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. This is particularly useful for avoiding unexpected medical bills.
