Essential Medicare facts you need to know

Medicare is a federal health insurance program designed for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as individuals with specific disabilities.

 

It consists of Part A (Hospitalized Care) and Part B (Outpatient Medical Services), alongside options for Part D (Prescription Drugs) and supplemental coverage.


For many New York beneficiaries, Original Medicare alone may not cover all medical expenses. Out-of-pocket costs for hospital stays, lab tests, and medications can often be higher than expected, leading to monthly financial concerns.


Medicare Advantage (Part C) provides a comprehensive alternative. These plans are managed by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. They combine Hospital, Medical, and Prescription drug coverage into one single, convenient plan.

 

Many Advantage plans include extra benefits such as:
• $0 monthly premium options 
• $0 primary care physician visits
• Low-cost prescription drugs (Tier 1)
• Additional coverage for Dental, Vision, Hearing, and Fitness programs.

 

Because coverage, costs, and provider networks vary by plan, it is vital to select one that fits your health needs, medications, preferred doctors, and budget.

 

At Cham Joun Insurance Agency, we simplify complex Medicare details and provide personalized 1-on-1 comparisons to help you choose the best plan for your lifestyle.

​

Many of the plan’s supplemental benefits listed above are provided at no additional cost. Even if the premium is shown as $0, you must keep Medicare Part A and Part B active, and all required premiums for Part A and Part B must continue to be paid by the member.

New York Medicare FAQ

Do you check health for Medigap?

NY implements 'Year-round Open Enrollment' and 'Community Rating.' Thus, you can join any time without rejection due to health, and rates don't rise with age.

Can I have Medicare and Medicaid?

Yes. This is a D-SNP (Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan), a special plan integrating both benefits with no premium burden for those who qualify.

When to join Part D (Rx Drugs)?

It is best to join as soon as you are eligible for Medicare Part A or B. Delaying may result in a Late Enrollment Penalty being applied.
