Medicare options for Bixby residents
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Works with Original Medicare to help pay deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Your best time to buy is your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Part B.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Private plans approved by Medicare that cover Parts A and B, usually through a provider network. Most include drug coverage. I check that your doctors are in network before you decide.
Part D prescription drug plans
Stand-alone drug coverage for people with Original Medicare. I compare plans using your actual prescriptions and preferred pharmacy.
Compare Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement side by side.
