Navigating Medicare can feel overwhelming, especially with all the options, deadlines, and fine print. At Preferred Insurance Agency here in La Crosse, we help make sense of it all—so you can make confident decisions about your healthcare coverage.
Whether you’re turning 65 soon, already enrolled, or helping a loved one, here’s what you should know about Medicare and how we can help.
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 and older, and for some younger people with certain disabilities. It’s divided into four parts:
-
Part A – Hospital insurance
-
Part B – Medical insurance
-
Part C (Medicare Advantage) – An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, offered by private companies
-
Part D – Prescription drug coverage
