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 Newark
What is Medicare and what does it do?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for individuals 65 and older, certain younger people with disabilities, and those with End-Stage Renal Disease. It covers essential medical services like doctor visits and hospital stays, serving as your primary health insurance once you meet the eligibility requirements.
What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?
Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care, most dental services, routine eye exams for glasses, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, or acupuncture. These services are often considered elective or not medically necessary. Many people in Newark opt for supplemental insurance to cover these specific needs.
What are the three requirements for Medicare?
The primary requirements for Medicare eligibility are being a U.S. citizen or legal resident for at least five years, being 65 years of age or older, or having a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease. Meeting these basic criteria is the first step to enrolling in the program.
How much will Medicare cost me each month?
Your monthly Medicare costs will depend on the parts of Medicare you enroll in and your income. The Part B premium is a standard cost, but higher earners pay more. Prescription drug plans (Part D) have varying premiums and costs based on the plan. We can provide a free quote to estimate your expenses.
Does everyone pay $170 for Medicare?
Individuals with higher incomes pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA), which increases their premium. Some low-income beneficiaries can receive assistance through specific programs. Let us help you determine your potential costs.
Is Medicare free after 65?
While Medicare is available to most people 65 and older, it's not entirely free. Most beneficiaries pay a monthly premium for Part B, and prescription drug plans (Part D) have their own premiums. However, there are programs available that can help eligible individuals reduce these costs. We can help you explore those options.
