Knowledge is power and being in-the-know about what Medicare covers and what it does not is vital – for ourselves and for our loved ones that may need our assistance in their senior years!
What Medicare Doesn’t Cover:

- Deductibles and Co-Pays
- Most Dental Care
- Routine Vision Care
- Hearing Aids
- Medical Care Overseas
A private plan through Medicare Advantage can offer more benefits and lower premiums.
