Understanding Your Medicare Options

Every retiree's situation is different. Here's a plain-English look at the three main types of coverage — and how James can help you choose.

All-in-one coverage through a private insurer

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage (Part C) bundles your hospital, medical, and often drug coverage into a single plan. Many plans include extras like dental, vision, and hearing — often with low or $0 premiums. Great for retirees who want simplicity and predictable costs.

Often includes dental, vision & hearing

Fill the gaps in Original Medicare

Medicare Supplement

Also called Medigap, these plans work alongside Original Medicare to cover costs like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. You keep your freedom to see any Medicare-accepting doctor nationwide — no networks, no referrals.

Prescription coverage that fits your medications

Part D Drug Plans

Part D plans cover prescription drugs and vary widely in cost and formulary. Choosing the wrong plan can mean paying hundreds more per year. James compares plans side by side to find the best fit for your specific prescriptions.
