If you’re ready to enroll for Medicare coverage, it’s important to understand the available options. Knowing your options for coverage can make choosing an insurance plan that fits your financial needs a straightforward process. After all, Medicare was designed to make health insurance more affordable to the average person or family. That’s why enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans has risen more than 300% between 2006 to 2022.
Read on to learn more about Medicare Advantage Plans in Florida, or cut through the noise and reach out to APEX Insurance. Our qualified staff can help you find a tailored health insurance solution regardless of your budget.
Understanding Your Medicare Advantage Options in Florida
To receive full coverage through original Medicare, you’ll have to enroll in Medicare’s separate plans, Part A, B, and D, because each plan covers medically essential services, such as:
- Part A covers hospitalization
- Part B covers doctor visits and outpatient services
- Part D covers prescription drug plans
It’s essential to note that there is no option to opt out of a specific service type for Medicare Advantage plans; all medically necessary services included under Original Medicare must be covered through the Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans combine Part A and Part B into a single plan. Many also include prescription drug coverage, eliminating the need for a separate Part D plan.
Benefits of Choosing a Medicare Advantage Plan
Why choose Medicare Advantage? These plans may also offer benefits that the original Medicare doesn’t. For example, eye exams and most dental care are not covered through most original Medicare plans, but are through Medicare Advantage.
Common benefits of a Florida Medicare Advantage plan include:
- Vision, dental, and hearing coverage
- Fitness and wellness programs
- Prescription drug coverage
- Telehealth and preventive care options
These benefits can be made available without requiring the purchase of additional, supplemental plans. However, some of these services may or may not be necessary. APEX Insurance helps clients find plans that meet specific health requirements and budgets, ensuring they aren’t stretching their funds for benefits they don’t need or want.
How APEX Insurance Helps Floridians Compare Plans
Since we work with several carriers, we can give you unbiased advice on their different plans. We carefully consider our recommendations after going through an analysis.
1. Review Your Current Medicare Coverage and Healthcare Needs
Because your current plan coverage and costs have the potential to change from year to year, we’ll review the Medicare plan you’re currently enrolled in to see if costs will increase or if the plan will continue to carry services that are crucial to your healthcare needs. We can verify that none of the medications you take are potentially at risk of being dropped from the plan. We examine potential or realized changes and advise you on how they could impact your healthcare needs and budget, such as how a change in ZIP code could affect your current coverage.
2. Compare Top-Rated Plans Available in Your Florida County
Through our expertise and knowledge, we can compare the best plans available to you, helping you weigh the pros and cons of each one.
3. Identify Cost-Saving Opportunities and Additional Benefits
We understand that choosing the right plan options can potentially save you hundreds, even thousands of dollars in extra costs. We make it our mission to find cost-saving plans that maintain the benefits you currently enjoy, or even offer additional benefits. Please note that it costs you nothing to let us help you compare plans or guide you through the enrollment process.
