Learning about Medicare can feel like looking into a bowl of alphabet soup. But to get the coverage that’s best for you, it’s important to know your choices. And that starts with understanding Medicare’s four basic parts.

Medicare Part A: Hospital Coverage

Part A covers care you receive while you are an inpatient in a hospital or a skilled nursing facility.

Part B: Medical Coverage

Part B covers doctor visits, clinic services, and care you receive as an outpatient.

Part C: Medicare Advantage

Part C (Medicare Advantage) combines Parts A and B into one plan. Most plans include prescription drug coverage as well. Eye care, dental care, and hearing aids may also be included. Brown & Toland Physicians works with several Medicare Advantage plans in the Bay Area.

Medicare Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage

Part D covers many generic and brand-name prescription medications.

You may also choose to enroll in a Medigap policy (supplemental insurance) for an additional cost.

Open Enrollment Period

Medicare open enrollment period is between October 15 and December 7 and is when a current Medicare user can upgrade parts of their plans to Medicare Advantage and/or Part D plan. Your revised coverage will begin on January 1 of the following year. To learn more about Open Enrollment events and benefits call  866-212-0148 .  Calling this number will connect you to a trusted, licensed insurance agent/broker that is not affiliated with Brown & Toland Physicians.
