    Medicare Information

    Medicare is a federal program for hospital and medical needs for individuals over 65 years of age. The program offers many great benefits to seniors. This article contains general Medicare information on what is covered under Medicare Parts A and B. Medicare Parts C (Medicare Advantage Plans) and D (Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage) are not discussed below. For additional Medicare information visit http://www.medicare.gov/.

    Medicare Part A

    Medicare Part A is actually "Hospital Insurance." It helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. It also covers hospice care and some home health care. The program is premium-free if you meet certain conditions; individuals who don't qualify can still buy in for a monthly premium of $423 in 2008.

     Medicare is excellent health insurance coverage but unfortunately it doesn't pay all of your hospital and doctor bills.  This is why seniors on medicare should also consider a Medicare (Medigap) Supplement Insurance policy.

     Medigap (Medicare) supplemental insurance benefits have been mandated to be the same since 1992. So, a policy for Plan F, for example, provides identical benefits for senior citizens regardless of which company issues the policy. The companies, however, design their own rates and the premiums vary widely.

    Weiss Ratings, Inc., that sells a consumer guide for Medigap shopping, has just issued its latest survey of premiums and says they find that senior citizens “continue to encounter striking differences in premium rates for policies offering identical coverage.”..click here to read more..

    For example: we offer a monthly rate of $106.83 for a 67 year old non smoking female and $122.66 for a 67 year old non smoking male.

    I can help lower YOUR Medicare Supplement Insurance Rates.

    All insurance companies pay their medicare supplement claims the same electronically.  They have to..it's the law!  The only difference between the companies offering Medicare Supplement Insurance..is their PREMIUMS.

    You can apply today and start with your new lower rates as early as next month.  It's that easy!

    I look forward to helping you save money so you can have extra money for things in life you really enjoy.

    Please pass this on to anyone this may help.  Thank you!

    Health insurance is always necessary. It is about you and your family. When you get older, no one will be there to help you in terms of money. If you financial sounds, you can get good health care.
