What's Medicare?

 Click here for information in Oregon & Washington about COVID-19
​

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for:
  • People who are 65 or older
  • Certain younger people with disabilities
  •  People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD)
Whether you’re new to Medicare, getting ready to turn 65, or preparing to retire, you’ll need to make several important decisions about your health coverage. If you wait to enroll, you may have to pay a penalty, and you could have a gap in coverage.
​
One important question is about your agent. >read more: What your medicare agent should do for you. Given that Medicare can seem like a confusing web of options, it's not any wonder that many consumers rely on licensed professional for help.

Drug Coverage (Part D)

Medicare Part D, also called the Medicare prescription drug benefit, is an optional United States federal-government program to help Medicare beneficiaries pay for self-administered prescription drugs through prescription drug insurance premiums (the cost of almost all professionally administered prescriptions is covered under optional Part B of United States Medicare). Part D was originally proposed by President George W. Bush in 2003 and enacted as part of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and went into effect on January 1, 2006.
