Guidance to understand your coverage alternatives and make an informed decision. Advice about specific plans is provided through authorized personnel where applicable.

What it is

Medicare is the federal health coverage program available mainly to people from age 65, and also to some younger people with certain conditions.

It is divided into parts, and each one covers different things. Understanding that division is what lets you compare alternatives with judgment instead of signing the first thing you are offered.

It is also worth distinguishing between an independent counselor and an insurance agent or broker: their roles and their options are different.

The parts of Medicare

Original Medicare

  • Part A: hospital coverage
  • Part B: basic medical coverage

Alternatives and supplements

  • Part C (Medicare Advantage): plans from approved private insurers
  • Part D: prescription drug coverage
  • Medigap (Medicare Supplement): supplemental coverage for costs not covered

Who it is usually useful for

  • People approaching 65 who do not know where to start.
  • Families who get calls and plan offers and cannot compare them.
  • People who already have coverage but do not understand what it covers.

What is worth knowing

  • We are not an insurance company or a government agency.
  • We do not determine your eligibility and we do not approve coverage.
  • Enrollment in any plan is handled through authorized personnel, where applicable.

Eligibility and final coverage are determined by the plan, the program or the authorized provider, never by Community Wellness Group.

Not sure which one your family needs

That is completely normal. Write to us, tell us the situation, and we will tell you what options exist for your case. And also which ones do not apply.

We are a private, independent company. We are not a government agency and we are not an insurance company.
