Because of the significant amount of out-of-pocket payments that may be required by traditional Medicare, a booming market of Medicare insurance products has grown up around the government programs. These Medicare-related insurance products are one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. health insurance industry overall. And they are the part of the market on which a smart consumer should focus his or her attention. Medicare-approved insurance companies mission is to help consumers understand these products and provide tools to assist in the decision making process.
 
The market for private-sector Medicare-related coverage can be described as including:
 
Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans - sometimes called "Medigap" insurance, though some industry professionals don't like that term - which, to various degrees, cover the things traditional Medicare doesn't.
 
Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), which is an alternative to traditional Medicare that generally offer additional benefits like routine dental and vision and may require little or no out-of-pocket payments.

Medicare Prescription Drug plans (Part D), supplement either traditional Medicare or, in some cases, a Medicare Advantage plan. (Part C) that does not include prescription drug coverage.
 
In order to qualify for most Medicare, you must meet the standard Medicare eligibility requirements and live in the "geographic service area."
 
Medicare plans are regulated by each state and approved for sale within geographic service areas. In most cases, these areas are organized on a county-by-county basis; in some large urban markets, they're organized on a city or even neighborhood basis.
 
If you move out of your geographic service area during a plan's coverage term, you will usually have a Special Election Period that allows you to enroll in another Medicare plan approved for sale in your new location or switch back to traditional Medicare.
 
The number of Medicare Supplement Insurance, Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug plans available in a given area can be overwhelming. In some counties, there are many plans and options available - meaning you have a "menu" of multiple  plans from which to choose.
 
The purpose of this web site is to give you the tools and information you may need in order to make good decisions regarding your Medicare coverage.

In the United States, Medicare is a national insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government since 1966, currently using multiple Medicare-approved private insurance companies across the United States. Medicare provides health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older who have worked and paid into the system for at least 10 years. It also provides health insurance to younger people with disabilities, end stage renal disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
