Checklist for Reviewing Your Medicare Plan

  1. List Your Healthcare Needs: Include any regular prescriptions, anticipated procedures, and regular doctor visits.
  2. Calculate Total Costs: Don’t just look at premiums. Include deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
  3. Check for Additional Benefits: Some plans offer extra benefits like fitness programs, transportation, or over-the-counter allowances.
  4. Read Reviews and Complaints: Look at what other beneficiaries have to say about the plan.

Consult with a Medicare Counselor: A trained counselor can offer personalized advice and help you navigate your options.
