How do you know which kind of Medicare coverage may be right for you?
If you’re eligible for Medicare, your health insurance options are more complicated and more varied than for patients covered by employer-sponsored insurance. CRMA strongly recommends you get some help.
Many local Senior Centers have programs to help patients navigate their choices. The Tufts Medicare Preferred website has an excellent set of tools to help explain Medicare and the various options to consider. In particular, we’d recommend the “Health Needs Assessment” and the “Cost Comparison”. Even if you don’t plan to sign up with Tufts, the information about Medicare Advantage vs Supplementals vs Original Medicare is universally relevant and will help you choose the right option based on your individual circumstances.
