Turning 65, retiring, or just trying to make sense of it?

Medicare

Medicare has four parts, several enrollment windows and a lot of mail. We start by figuring out which pieces apply to your situation, then compare the options that go with them.

What to understand

  • Part A and Part B

    Original Medicare — hospital and medical coverage, with deductibles and coinsurance you pay yourself.

  • Part C (Medicare Advantage)

    A private plan that bundles your coverage, usually with a network and often extra benefits.

  • Part D

    Prescription drug coverage, with a formulary that determines what your medications cost.

  • Enrollment timing

    Missing a window can mean a lifelong penalty or a wait — timing matters as much as the plan.

Questions worth asking

  • Are my doctors and hospitals in the plan's network?
  • Are all of my medications on the plan's formulary?
  • What is my realistic worst-case cost in a bad year?
  • Do I travel or spend part of the year in another state?
