Your Medicare card
It shows if you have Part A, Part B or both.
Medicare plans, one person to ask
Share the doctors you see and the medicines you take. You'll leave knowing which Medicare plans work with both.
Start Your Review/ Before you enroll /
Your Medicare choice shapes which doctors you can see and what your pharmacy fills. You can switch later, but only at set times and under set rules. A short talk now helps you spot a gap before it turns into a surprise bill or a missing refill.
How It Works
Part A is for hospital stays. Part B is for doctor visits.
I check that your doctors take an Advantage plan first.
Your medicines and pharmacy get matched to each Part D list.

/ Common questions /
These come up in almost every review I do. If yours isn't here, just send it my way.
During your Initial Enrollment Period, a seven-month window around the month you turn 65.
Advantage replaces how Original Medicare covers your care. Medigap works alongside it. You can't have both.
Mostly no. Pharmacy drugs come through a Part D plan or an Advantage plan with drug coverage.
With Original Medicare, yes, if they accept Medicare. With Advantage, it depends on the network, so I check first.
Yes, during set windows like the yearly Open Enrollment. Medigap changes may need health questions.
No. Plans change by county and ZIP code, so I only show the ones you can join.
