Collin County Medicare Insurance Plans

What is Medicare?

Simply put, Medicare is a federal health insurance program for:

• People 65 and older
• People under 65 with certain disabilities
• People with end-stage renal disease
  

The Medicare program offers basic coverage to help pay for things like doctor visits, hospital stays, and surgeries.

When you’re eligible, you can enroll in Medicare Parts A and B – also known as Original Medicare – through the Social Security Administration. If you are already receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits, you’ll automatically be enrolled.

Original Medicare covers the essentials, but there are a lot of services that aren’t included – important things like prescription drug coverage, annual hearing, and eye exams, care needed when traveling outside the United States, and much more. Services like these can be covered through private Medicare health plans and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans.

There are a few various times you can enroll in Medicare and a Medicare plan throughout the year. These are called enrollment periods.
