New to Medicare?
You can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan at any moment during your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period if you’re new to Medicare. Your Initial Enrollment Period begins three months before you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and concludes three months after you turn 65. If you don’t sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan during your initial enrollment period, you’ll have another chance during the Medicare Fall Open Enrollment Period, which runs from October 15 through December 7.
Medicare information is everywhere. What is hard is knowing which information to trust. Because Medicareprofessionaladvisors are following the CMS regulations, you can rest assured you’re getting accurate information so you can make the right decisions for your coverage.

Non-hospital medical costs such as doctor's appointments, blood tests, x-rays, diabetes testing and supplies, and outpatient hospital treatment are covered by Part B benefits. For this component of the original health insurance, you pay a monthly fee.
Medicare Part C
In a health insurance plan, Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part C normally covers all forms of health insurance coverage. Private insurance businesses that have been contracted by the CMS to provide a medicare plan as an alternative to the original health insurance plan provide it.
Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is a prescription medication coverage option. Part D health insurance is available as a stand-alone plan from private insurance firms, with monthly rates varying from one to the next. Depending on the plan you're registered in, you'll split the cost of your prescription medicines.
