Basic information

What is Medicare?

Medicare is a federal health insurance program, mainly for people 65 or older. It may also apply to some people under 65 who have certain qualifying health conditions or disabilities.

Medicare is divided into different parts, and there are additional options offered by private insurers that can help you complement your coverage. At Marseguros USA we explain each option in Spanish, calmly and without jargon.

  • Federal health programRun by the U.S. government. Private insurers offer additional plans approved by Medicare.
  • Mainly for ages 65 and olderMost people become eligible when they turn 65.
  • Also for some people under 65For certain disabilities or health conditions that qualify.

Medicare or Obamacare? Obamacare (ACA) is aimed mainly at people under 65. If you're approaching 65 and currently have a Marketplace plan, we guide you on how the transition to Medicare works. See Obamacare

Recommendations

Common mistakes when choosing Medicare

Knowing these mistakes before deciding helps you choose with more confidence.

  1. 1

    Not checking doctors and hospitals

    It's important to verify that your preferred doctors and hospitals are within the network of the plan you're considering.

    Best practice

    Confirm the plan's network before enrolling.

  2. 2

    Not checking medications

    Each plan has its own list of covered medications. Not checking this list can lead to unexpected costs.

    Best practice

    Compare each plan's list with your current prescriptions.

  3. 3

    Choosing based on price alone

    An inexpensive plan doesn't always cover what you need. It's important to review benefits, networks and medications, not just the cost.

    Best practice

    Look at the total cost: premium, deductibles and copays.

  4. 4

    Not understanding networks or benefits

    Some plans include additional benefits such as dental, vision or hearing. It's worth understanding what each option includes.

    Best practice

    Ask what each plan includes before deciding.

  5. 5

    Letting important periods pass

    There are enrollment periods that may apply depending on your situation. Reviewing your dates ahead of time avoids setbacks.

    Best practice

    Note your key dates and review your plan every year.
