Learn about Medicare
Deciding how and when to enroll in Medicare is one of the most significant decisions you will make about your health care as you move toward retirement. Take time to learn the facts.
Known as Medicare Advantage, Part C is a private-insurance alternative to Parts A and B.
You become eligible when you reach 65 years old. (People with some disabilities can apply earlier.)
Here's an online questionnaire from Medicare to help you confirm that you are eligible.
Medicare Part A is free for most people. You pay for Part B, if you choose it. Learn more about how much you will pay for the Part B premium. You pay for Part D with a monthly premium and your plan may include out-of-pocket expenses such as copayments, coinsurance and annual deductibles.
