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 Des Moines
Is Medicare free after 65?
While Medicare Part A is typically premium-free for most individuals who have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years, Part B usually has a monthly premium. This premium can increase based on your income. Prescription drug plans (Part D) and Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) also have their own associated costs. We can provide a personalized cost estimate for you.
What is Medicare and what does it do?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, and also for younger people with certain disabilities or End-Stage Renal Disease. It provides coverage for hospital stays (Part A), medical services (Part B), prescription drugs (Part D), and offers additional benefits through Medicare Advantage plans (Part C). We can explain the specifics of each part.
What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?
Medicare generally doesn't cover services such as most routine dental care, vision exams for eyeglasses, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, long-term custodial care, and certain alternative therapies like acupuncture. It's important to be aware of these limitations. However, some Medicare Advantage plans might offer coverage for some of these excluded services. Let us help you find those options.
What are the three requirements for Medicare?
To be eligible for Medicare, you generally need to be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident for at least five years. You also need to be 65 years of age or older, or under 65 if you have a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). These are the primary eligibility criteria. We can help confirm your eligibility status.
How much will Medicare cost me each month?
Your monthly Medicare costs depend on which parts of Medicare you enroll in and your income level. Part A is usually premium-free for most people, but Part B has a standard monthly premium that can increase for higher earners. Costs for Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans can also vary. Call us for a precise quote.
Does everyone pay $170 for Medicare?
Individuals with higher incomes pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA), which increases their premium. Part A often has no monthly premium. We can provide a personalized cost breakdown for you.
