Do I Qualify for Medicare?

Most people get Medicare when they turn 65, but you may be able to enroll in Medicare earlier if you meet certain conditions.

What are Medicare Parts and Medicare Plans?

When you’re ready to enroll in Medicare, you may read a lot about "Parts" and "Plans". Medicare is made up of parts A, B, C and D while Medicare Supplement is available in plans. Understanding the parts and plans of Medicare benefits is key to finding the best plan for you.  

Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)

Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plans provide all the hospital and medical coverage of Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), along with extra benefits like vision and dental services, with many plans offering prescription drug benefits as well.

Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)

Original Medicare does not include prescription drug benefits but Blue Cross MedicareRx℠ plans can fill the gaps in your Medicare coverage. Get access to mail-order and specialty pharmacies, help with outpatient prescription drug costs, and programs that help you manage your medicines.

Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans

Blue Medicare Supplement℠ Insurance Plans help pay for some costs that come with Original Medicare, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Some plans even include extra benefits like dental, vision, and foreign travel coverage.
