Health Insurance for Senior Citizens
------------------------------------

Many health insurance plans exist; however, price and coverage are not
equal with every plan. Before you choose a health insurance plan,
assess your needs to determine what kind of coverage you desire. The
following are some questions to ask yourself:
How much coverage do I need? Consider any health conditions you
 currently have, as well as surgeries or potential hospital stays.

Do I need vision coverage? If you have impaired vision or other
 difficulties with your eyes, you may need vision coverage. Think
 about how often you visit the eye doctor and what you might pay
 for new glasses or eyewear. Many vision plans offer a discount on
 eyeglasses, but nothing to cover the visits.
Should I have dental coverage? Dental work can cost a considerable
 amount of money. In addition, the cost of dentures can exceed
 thousands of dollars.

Am I eligible for Medicare? If you are over 65, you may be
 receiving Medicare. However, additional coverage might be helpful
 to fill in the gaps.
Medicare Coverage
-----------------

If you have or will be receiving Medicare, you should educate yourself
on the programs before seeking additional coverage elsewhere. The
following information will help you understand the benefits and
limitations:
Medicare Part A: This program helps cover the costs of healthcare
 in various places, such as hospitals, nursing homes and hospice
 centers. Some home health care may also be included. This program
 is mostly paid through taxes, which means there are no deductibles
 or monthly premiums.

Medicare Part B: This program helps defray the costs of doctor
 visits, outpatient hospital services and home health care. In
 addition, some medical equipment and supplies as well as therapy
 may also be covered. An annual deductible and monthly premium
 generally apply.
Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plan): This plan is more
 flexible than the others and offers additional benefits.

Medicare Part D: Encompasses prescription drug coverage.
MediGap: Covers the expenses not compensated through Medicare.

Additional Help and Resources
-----------------------------
Additional tools and resources provided by the AARP and other
companies may help you decide what you are lacking and answer
questions about your coverage. The right level of coverage could help
save your assets and protect your family from loss in a crisis. Visit
the following sites for more information:

Rate Quotes: comparison shop for insurance.
AARP: learn about healthcare for those under 64 (and their
 dependants) or supplemental insurance for individuals with
 Medicare by visiting the AARP site.

Centers for Medicare Advcacy: a private, non-profit agency that
 offers legal assistance, education, and advocacy services to
 seniors and disabled individuals in need of healthcare.
Medicare information site: find information regarding Medicare,
 Medigap and prescription drug plans.

American Seniors Association: similar to the AARP, the ASA is an
 organization dedicated to senior support. It provide discounts on
 commonly used goods and services as well as information and help
 with Medicare, insurance, prescriptions discounts and travel.
