Choosing the right Medicare plan can be one of the most important decisions you make for your health and financial security. Whether you’re approaching 65, already enrolled, or helping a loved one navigate the process, understanding your options can make all the difference.

At Protecting Families, we’re here to make Medicare simple, clear, and personalized. So you can make the best decision for your future.

What Is Medicare and How Does It Work?

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older, as well as younger individuals with certain disabilities. It’s designed to help cover hospital stays, medical visits, prescription drugs, and more, but the right plan for you depends on your unique healthcare needs.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the different parts of Medicare:

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facilities, and some home health care.

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, and medical supplies.

Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans): Private insurance alternatives to Original Medicare that often include extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and prescription coverage.

Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Helps cover the cost of medications prescribed by your doctor.

Why Reviewing Your Medicare Plan Is Important

Medicare isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your healthcare needs can change from year to year. Regularly reviewing your plan ensures that you’re still getting the best coverage at the most affordable cost.
