For Medicare participants

Already on Medicare? You may qualify for extra benefits

This is separate from Marketplace enrollment. Many people with Medicare Part A and Part B don't realize that, depending on their Medicare and Medicaid status, they may qualify for extra benefits beyond Original Medicare.

Dental coverage

Cleanings, exams, and often major work like crowns or dentures, at little to no extra cost.

Vision coverage

Eye exams and an allowance toward glasses or contacts, included on many plans.

Hearing coverage

Hearing exams and help paying for hearing aids, which Original Medicare usually does not cover.

Over-the-counter card

A prepaid card loaded regularly for everyday items like vitamins, pain relievers, and first-aid supplies.

We'll check your Medicare and Medicaid status for free and let you know exactly which extra benefits you may already qualify for.

We are independent licensed health insurance agents and are not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program. Federal regulations require a Scope of Appointment be completed before we can discuss specific plan details, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
