Choosing the Right Medicare Coverage

Here are some questions to ask yourself that can help you make the right choice; • How is your health?• Are you currently being treated for any

chronic conditions?• Do you take prescription drugs regularly?• What doctors do you regularly see?• What hospital or hospitals do you use?• How much do you travel?• How much did you spend on medical

care last year?• How does the cost of health insurance fit

into your budget?

Choosing the right Medicare Coverage is an important decision. It’s not a, “one size fits all”

situation because everyone has different needs and budgets.

• Do you prefer to pay a higher monthlypremium in exchange for no or low outof pocket costs or pay a low monthlypremium in exchange for higher out ofpocket costs?

To further assist you, we have designed a Personal Information Sheet for you to complete. This information, coupled with the answers to your questions, will help determine the right type of Medicare Coverage, benefits, out of pocket expense and cost to meet your personal health care needs and budget.
