Help to Navigate the Medicare Maze
State of Ohio Medicare
Original Medicare
(Part A and B)
This includes hospital insurance (Part A) and medical insurance (Part B) from the government Medicare program. It does not include prescription drug coverage.
Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap)
These private plans pick up where Original Medicare leaves off by helping cover certain out-of-pocket costs like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Medicare Advantage Plans (with and without drug coverage)
Also called Part C, these are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. They provide Medicare Part A and B benefits, often including additional services like vision, dental, or health and wellness programs. Plans with drug coverage are called MA-PD plans.
Prescription Drug Plans (PDP, Part D)
These stand-alone plans help cover the costs of prescription medications for those with Original Medicare or a Medigap policy.
Medicaid
For some low-income Ohio residents who qualify, Medicaid may help pay Medicare costs and offer additional coverage.
Why Choose Us For Your Ohio Medicare Needs?
Our Ohio team of licensed Medicare advisers provides one-on-one guidance to help you understand your coverage priorities and choose an appropriate plan. As a leading multi-state agency, we represent many top insurance carriers and can compare various options.
Let our local experts simplify the entire Medicare selection and enrollment process. There’s no obligation to enroll – we want you to feel informed and confident in your coverage choice.
The Importance of Open Enrollment
Working with our team during Open Enrollment allows you to consider any new plans in your area, take full advantage of available options, and ensure prompt January 1st start dates on approved coverage changes. We handle all the paperwork and enrollment logistics so you can enjoy a simple, stress-free process.
Evaluating Coverage for Rural vs. City Medicare Needs
Rural areas may lack the broad network access of urban providers and facilities. Or, specific Medigap plans providing coverage anywhere in the world may better fit your lifestyle if you travel between city and country locations.
Our agents will research all the available plans for your county or region in Ohio. We can assess carrier networks and find options with the widest choice of doctors, clinics, and hospitals near you.
For those in remote areas, we can also explore any additional telehealth benefits or flexible supplemental coverage riders that broaden your access to care. Your satisfaction and health are our top priorities when matching the right plan details to your location requirements.
Supplementing Ohio Medicare Coverage
Medicaid Benefits:
Medicaid assistance may cover deductibles, copays, and coinsurance that Medicare does not. It can also provide additional benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and long-term nursing home care that are not covered under basic Medicare.
Our Medicaid experts can evaluate clients’ specific household income and resources to see if they meet eligibility thresholds. For those qualifying for state assistance, we can coordinate enrollment to activate these valuable supplemental coverage programs at no added cost.
Getting the Most From Medicare Using Wellness Benefits
Preventive health services are a wise investment, which is why many Medicare plans include valuable wellness coverage. However, not all policies promote healthy living resources and incentives.
Wellness Programs
Supplemental Policies
Supplemental policies enhance Medicare’s wellness visit coverage, which provides personalized prevention plans and screening schedules. Such features empower clients to proactively monitor chronic conditions, catch other issues early, and avoid unnecessary healthcare costs.
Enhancing Medicare Coverage Long-Term
While Open Enrollment let Ohioans switch Medicare options annually, specific life changes may permit special signups outside those standard windows. We advise clients on how to prepare and capitalize on these opportunities as their situation evolves over the years.
Guaranteed Issue Rights
By voluntarily upgrading supplemental coverage during available Guaranteed Issue Rights periods, you can lock in more robust protection for future healthcare needs without medical underwriting. Our goal is to help clients not just select initial Medicare coverage but evolve options advantageously through each new phase of life or health condition change. Proper long-term planning optimizes benefits for years to come.
