\"Medicare<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, it\u2019s kind of like deciding between a road trip along Highway 97 or hopping on a Greyhound bus tour through Eastern Washington. Both will get you where you need to go, but the experience can be quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original Medicare, the trusty old Ford wood paneled Station wagon of the Medicare world, offers Parts A and B. It’s like cruising along the Columbia with the windows down 55 miles an hour \u2014simple with no air conditioning. You get hospital coverage with Part A and medical insurance with Part B, but you\u2019re pretty much on your own for extras like dental, vision, or hearing aids. (Yes, Medicare does not cover everything). And just like a road trip, if you want snacks or souvenirs (prescription drugs), you\u2019ll have to plan ahead and get yourself a Part D plan. If you skip Plan D at the start of your Medicare trip then you may have a late enrollment penalty.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Medicare Advantage (Part C) is the private bus tour with the tinted windows. Suzie<\/a> from Wenatchee Insurance<\/a> can guide you through the process like your seasoned tour guide. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private companies and bundle Parts A, B, and usually D together, plus extra perks like gym memberships (perfect for keeping fit while exploring the Cascades or checking out the local wineries). Suzie can help you pick a plan that stops at all your favorite sights, whether that\u2019s routine checkups or specialty care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whether you\u2019re a solo adventurer or prefer the all-inclusive package, Suzie has you covered. Just give her a call, and she\u2019ll help you figure out which route is best for your Medicare journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
