Choosing or Changing
Medicare Coverage

Understanding Medicare Coverage in Texas
When evaluating your Medicare healthcare options, it’s essential to ensure that your plan aligns with your specific needs. If your current coverage isn’t meeting your expectations, it may be time to explore alternatives. Here are some key factors to consider:
Comprehensive Coverage
Assessing your overall coverage is essential, including premiums and deductibles, in light of your financial situation. Our team will help you evaluate each component of your plan to see how effectively it meets your healthcare needs. We’ll also clarify the rules governing your coverage, giving you a better understanding of your options and their associated costs.
Interplay with Other Coverage
If you have additional health or prescription plans, understanding how they interact with Medicare is crucial. Making changes without fully comprehending these relationships can lead to unforeseen complications. Our experts will collaborate with you to navigate these intricacies before you proceed with any adjustments.
Provider Networks
When initiating or adjusting your coverage, it’s important to consider which doctors and hospitals are part of your plan. We can help you review your options to ensure that your healthcare providers are accessible and that your coverage meets your preferences.
Prescription Drug Coverage
A Medicare Prescription Drug plan is often a key component of your overall coverage. It’s vital to consider factors like potential penalties for late enrollment and the costs of your specific medications under various plans.
Convenience and Accessibility
Our experienced team can assist you in evaluating the convenience offered by different plans, including local access to healthcare providers, pharmacies for your medications, and mail-order services. We also cover important aspects like travel coverage, whether you’re going out of state or internationally.
Choosing the right Medicare options can feel daunting, whether you’re enrolling for the first time or adjusting your current coverage. From selecting the right healthcare providers to ensuring your prescriptions are covered, it’s essential to have a plan that fits your individual circumstances.
What is Original Medicare?
“Original Medicare” refers to the federal health insurance program that consists of two main parts: Part A and Part B.
PART A
Part A provides coverage for inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, home health services, and hospice care.
PART B
Part B covers medically necessary services, including those required for diagnosis and treatment, as well as preventive services aimed at early detection of health issues.
With Original Medicare, you generally have the flexibility to choose any doctor or specialist who accepts Medicare. However, keep in mind that you will be responsible for certain premiums and copays. Additionally, prescription medications are covered separately under Medicare Part D.

Exploring Additional Coverage Options
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Offers an alternative to Original Medicare through private insurance companies. These plans often combine the benefits of Part A, Part B, and sometimes Part D into one package.
With Medicare Advantage, you may find that copays are lower, and some plans offer additional benefits not included in Original Medicare, such as vision and dental care.
Medicare Supplement Insurance
Commonly known as Medigap. This type of insurance helps cover out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t pay.
Unlike Medicare Advantage, Medigap requires a monthly premium and is designed for those who are enrolled in Original Medicare and not in a Medicare Advantage plan.
At Lubbock Senior Insurance, we are dedicated to helping you navigate these options and find the best coverage tailored to your individual needs. Our experienced team is here to provide the support and information you need to make confident decisions about your Medicare coverage.
