It used to be very difficult to figure everything out when you first went into retirement. Besides doing all the different family/retirement planning there was Medicare to deal with. Many people in Jacksonville, Florida saw this as a “four letter word” and did not even want to bother with it. Others just signed up under the first plan they saw. The fact is however, Medicare is a very important part of your life and your future and many people in Jacksonville, Florida do not even realize that it only covers a portion of their healthcare expenses. There are many areas that it leaves for you to pay unless you have the proper secondary coverage.

Medicare was not designed to cover all of your health expenses 100%. This is why people in Jacksonville, Florida look at getting another plan in place to help cover all the different deductibles and copays that are associated with traditional Medicare, including the large 20% gap in the Part B Coinsurance. As anyone in Florida can tell you, health expenses can add up quickly, and 20% can turn into a big number literally overnight.

There are two main options we in Jacksonville, Florida normally look at to supplement our Medicare. The first is what is called a Medicare Advantage Plan and the second is the Medicare Supplement Plan. The Medicare Advantage Plans actually become your primary healthcare coverage and are designed to take over for your Medicare. They have networks of doctors and hospitals you are recommended, and in some places required, to go to get the most from your plan. You have basic copays when you go to a doctor, hospital, or get a test done. The upsides to these plans are that they often times include prescription coverage as well as limited dental, vision, and hearing benefits. The Medicare Supplement Plans are designed to keep traditional Medicare as your primary and act as a secondary that wraps around your Medicare filling in all the different gaps copays and deductibles.
