Medicare Frequently Asked Questions

The Medicare program can seem overwhelming at first glance (or second and third). But take a closer look, and things begin to come into focus.

If you’re new to Medicare, it’s essential to understand the basics of costs, coverage and enrollment. What’s the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage? What is Medigap? Where can I turn if I have more questions?

If you’ve had Medicare coverage for years, or your health needs are changing, you may want to learn more than the basics. Medicare offers several coverage options that come with many details to know.

Whether you’re preparing to enroll in Medicare for the first time or you’re already enrolled but aren’t sure you’re maximizing your coverage, our Medicare FAQ series has the answers you seek and the information you need. And if you don’t find your answer here, a GoHealth licensed insurance agent is ready to answer your questions at no cost to you.
