Inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing, and related care.

B
Medical coverage

Doctor visits, outpatient services, and preventive care.

C
Medicare Advantage

Private plans that bundle A, B, and often D with extras.

D
Prescription drugs

Coverage for medications through standalone or bundled plans.

When to Review

Timing matters with Medicare.

Most people review their coverage at a handful of key moments. If any of these sound like you, it's a good time to talk.

Common review moments

  • Turning 65 or first becoming eligible
  • Retiring and leaving employer coverage
  • Annual Enrollment each fall
  • Your doctors or prescriptions change
  • Moving, or a qualifying life event

Watch your ANOC letter

Each fall, your plan sends an Annual Notice of Change describing what will be different next year — premiums, copays, drug lists, and networks can all shift.

Reviewing it before Annual Enrollment ends means no surprises in January. We can help you read yours.
