Navigate Your Options With Confidence
Medicare Health Plans
Original Medicare covers hospital and medical care, but leaves gaps in cost-sharing that most people choose to address with additional coverage. Three options are most common:
Medigap
Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance) may help cover what Original Medicare doesn’t — deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Premiums vary by plan type, age, gender, tobacco status, and location. The best time to enroll is your six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which starts when you turn 65 and enroll in Part B — outside that window, medical underwriting may apply.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Part C is an alternative to Original Medicare through a private insurer, typically bundling Part A, Part B, and often Part D — sometimes with added dental, vision, or hearing benefits. Premiums and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan, though your Part B premium still applies. Networks matter: your doctors and hospitals must participate in the plan for coverage to apply.
Part D
Part D adds prescription coverage to Original Medicare through a private insurer. Even if you take no medications now, enrolling when first eligible helps you avoid a late enrollment penalty that applies indefinitely. Costs depend on your plan’s formulary and your specific prescriptions. An independent agent can help you compare all three and find the right fit — at no cost to you.

ACA Marketplace Insurance
ACA Marketplace Insurance covers essential health benefits — preventive care, prescriptions, emergency services, and hospitalization — and are open to U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants without access to Medicare, Medicaid, or affordable employer coverage, regardless of health history. Plans are organized into four metal tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) based on how costs are split between you and your insurer.
When Can You Enroll?
The annual Open Enrollment Period is the primary window to enroll or switch plans. A qualifying life event — losing coverage, getting married, having a child, or moving — opens a Special Enrollment Period year-round.
How Much Do ACA Plans Cost?
ACA Marketplace premiums vary based on your age, location, tobacco status, and the metal tier you choose. Many enrollees qualify for premium tax credits based on household income, which can significantly reduce the monthly cost. What you actually pay depends on your specific situation — I can help you find out what’s available before you commit to anything.
