How to sign up for Parts A & B

There are two ways to sign up for Medicare. You can either call Social Security directly at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY users can call 1-800-325-0778) or sign up online through www.SSA.gov. If you are already receiving Social Security, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B without an additional application. If you are not receiving Social Security, you will need to sign up for Medicare Part A and B directly by either calling or signing up online 3 months prior to your birth month.

Knowing the Gaps and Differences

Medicare Part A has a deductible, copays and coinsurance and Medicare Part B covers only 80% of your medical coverage. The remaining costs can be covered one of three ways: 

  • Pay the out-of-pocket direct
  • Enroll in a Medigap Plan
  • Enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan

Medigap, also known as Medicare Supplement plans, do not include Drug Coverage, Dental, Vision, and Hearing. Part D may be purchased to cover prescription drugs.

Medicare Advantage plans may include Drug Coverage, Dental, Vision, and Hearing depending on the plans available in your area.

It is important to consider how each of these plans and options work to make sure your specific needs are met. Please contact Go2insurance360 to discuss your options.
