Your healthcare benefits. Your healthcare goals. Your health partner.
Nothing stays the same forever. There’s no one-size-fits-all Medicare plan, and your needs have likely changed over the past 12 months. The plan you chose last year may not be the best option for next year.
If you are enrolled in some form of Medicare (Part A and/or B, Part C, Part D, or Medicare Supplement), then this guide is for you.

A Roadmap for a Higher Standard of Benefits
A critical first step to improving your healthcare is choosing a Medicare plan that meets your needs and budget. You should determine what needs you have today (and expect to have in the future), which doctors and specialists you want in your network, and what financial safeguards will protect you from unpredictable healthcare costs. The tasks of finding, understanding, and comparing plans are tough and can leave consumers uncertain if they have the right coverage.
Our goal is to provide the information you need to make confident decisions and take control of your healthcare. GoHealth offers digital resources and personalized benefits counseling — free of charge with no obligation to enroll.
