  • Original Medicare includes Medicare Part A and Part B and provides hospital and medical coverage through the federal Medicare program.

  • Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare and provide another way to receive your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. Some plans may also include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits.

  • Also known as Medigap, Medicare Supplement policies work alongside Original Medicare and can help pay certain out-of-pocket costs not covered by Original Medicare.

  • Medicare Part D plans provide prescription drug coverage and are offered by private insurance companies.

When Should I Enroll in Medicare?

For many people, Medicare eligibility begins around age 65, but enrollment timing can depend on your individual circumstances.

If you’re approaching Medicare eligibility, still working, covered through an employer or unsure when you should enroll, one of our licensed insurance agents can help you understand the considerations that may apply to your situation.

Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement:

What’s the Difference?

Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement insurance are different ways of addressing health care costs alongside Medicare.

Medicare Advantage plans provide Medicare benefits through a Medicare-approved private insurance company. Medicare Supplement policies work alongside Original Medicare to help cover certain out-of-pocket costs.

Available plans, benefits, provider networks, premiums and other costs can vary. A licensed Speck Insurance Group agent can explain the options our agency represents and help answer your questions.

  • Original Medicare consists of Medicare Part A and Part B and is administered by the federal government. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by Medicare-approved private insurance companies and provide another way to receive your Medicare benefits.

  • Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap, is private insurance designed to help cover certain out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t pay.

  • Original Medicare generally does not include routine outpatient prescription drug coverage. Prescription drug coverage may be available through a standalone Medicare Part D plan or certain Medicare Advantage plans that include prescription drug coverage.

  • For many people, Medicare eligibility begins around age 65, but when you should enroll can depend on your individual circumstances, including whether you have other health coverage.

  • There are specific enrollment periods during which eligible individuals may be able to enroll in or change certain Medicare coverage. Eligibility and available options depend on individual circumstances.

  • No. You can research Medicare and available coverage independently. Some people choose to work with a licensed insurance agent to help understand terminology, ask questions and learn about the plan options the agency represents.
