What affects the price
Medicare costs aren't one-size-fits-all. Your monthly premium depends on a few moving parts, such as the specific plan type you choose, your zip code, and your current health needs. Whether you need extra coverage for prescriptions or prefer a plan that includes dental and vision benefits, these choices shift the total amount you pay. Some people find plans with low monthly premiums, while others prioritize lower out-of-pocket costs when they visit a doctor. Because your personal situation dictates which options are available and affordable, we help you weigh these factors carefully. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Columbus
Is Medicare free after 65?
Part A, which covers hospital stays, is typically free for those who have paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. However, Part B, for doctor visits and outpatient services, has a monthly premium. Many people also choose to add Part D for prescription drugs, which also has a cost. We can help you figure out your specific expenses.
What is Medicare and what does it do?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as younger people with certain disabilities and End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps cover costs for hospital services, doctor visits, and prescription drugs. Understanding its different parts is key to making informed decisions about your health coverage.
What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?
Medicare typically doesn't cover routine dental care, eye exams for glasses, cosmetic surgery, hearing aids, or long-term custodial care. It's important to be aware of these gaps. Many Ohio residents find that supplemental plans or Medicare Advantage plans can help fill some of these coverage holes.
What are the three requirements for Medicare?
To be eligible for Medicare, you generally need to be a U.S. citizen or have been a legal resident for at least five years, be 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability. Some individuals with specific medical conditions, like End-Stage Renal Disease, may also be eligible. We can help you verify your specific eligibility.
How much will Medicare cost me each month?
Your monthly Medicare costs can vary significantly based on your choices. While Part A is often premium-free, Part B has a standard monthly premium that can be higher for those with higher incomes. If you select a Medicare Advantage plan or add Part D prescription drug coverage, those will have additional monthly premiums. We can guide you through the pricing.
Does everyone pay $170 for Medicare?
If your income is higher than a certain threshold, you'll pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA), which increases your Part B premium. We can help you understand your specific premium.
