Choosing the right Medicare plan depends on your specific healthcare needs, financial situation, and the doctors and hospitals you prefer. Original Medicare provides wide access to any provider that accepts Medicare, while Medicare Advantage Plans may offer more benefits like dental and vision care but with network restrictions. We recommend reviewing your options annually during the Open Enrollment Period from October 15 to December 7, as plans and needs can change. A Medicare counselor or a healthcare provider knowledgeable about Medicare, like those at Prima Medicine, can help you make the best choice.
