What is Medicare?

Medicare is a health insurance program created by the government. There are 27.9 million people who have Medicare in the United States. And there are 3,856 Medicare-eligible people in Cimarron. If you're eligible for Medicare, this means that you're in good company.

People who are 65 years old or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or other qualified illnesses can get help from Medicare to pay for medical costs like doctor visits, hospital stays, and other treatments.

Medicare Plans in Cimarron

Original Medicare (Part A and B) is the most basic coverage offered by the government for people who are eligible for Medicare. You enroll in Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B when you first become eligible for Medicare.

There are also plan options that expand Original Medicare coverage. These options include Medicare Advantage (Part C), stand-alone Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D), and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans.

Most people enrolled in Medicare expand their coverage because Original Medicare doesn’t have an out-of-pocket maximum. Without expanded coverage, you could expose yourself to high out-of-pocket costs, a financial risk.

By enrolling in a Medicare Supplement and/or a Medicare Part D stand-alone prescription drug plan, you get help with some or all of your Medicare out-of-pocket costs, plus prescription drug coverage.

With a Medicare Advantage plan, you receive your coverage in a single plan: Medicare Parts A and B, and comprehensive dental, vision, and hearing coverage. Plus, most plans include prescription drug coverage. 43.18% of Medicare beneficiaries in Cimarron are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States designed primarily for individuals 65 and older, though it also covers certain younger individuals with disabilities or specific diseases. Medicare consists of several parts (Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Medicare Part C, Medicare Part D, and Medigap), each covering different aspects of healthcare services.

Standard Medicare plans, Part A and Part B, do not cover most dental services, including cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, or dentures. However, some Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) may offer dental coverage as part of their additional benefits.

Medicare Part B is a component of Original Medicare, often called hospital insurance. It covers outpatient care, preventive services, ambulance services, and durable medical equipment. It generally requires a monthly premium and helps pay for medically necessary services and supplies.

If you're not automatically enrolled in Medicare, you can sign up during your Initial Enrollment Period, which begins three months before you turn 65, includes your birth month, and ends three months after you turn 65. You can sign up online via the Social Security website, by phone, in person, or by speaking with a Connie Health agent at 1-888-369-1211. Once enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, you can explore your Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Medicare Supplement plan options with your local licensed Connie Heath agent.

Medicare Part A, also known as hospital insurance, covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home healthcare services. Most people qualify for Part A without paying a premium if they or their spouse have paid Medicare taxes for a certain amount of time while working.

Individuals who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible for Medicare at age 65. Under certain conditions, younger individuals with disabilities or those with End-Stage Renal Disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) may also qualify for Medicare coverage.

The cost of Medicare Part B varies depending on your income. In 2024, the standard Part B premium is $174.70 per month, but it can be higher for individuals with annual incomes above a certain threshold. These thresholds are called Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts (IRMAA) and are in addition to the standard Part B premium.

You typically become eligible for Medicare when you turn 65. However, individuals under 65 may qualify if they have specific disabilities or conditions like End-Stage Renal Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or chronic heart failure.

The ideal time to apply for Medicare is during your Initial Enrollment Period, which starts three months before you turn 65 and ends three months after your birth month. Applying during this period helps avoid late enrollment penalties and ensures coverage begins as soon as possible.
