Medicare is a national health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and those with end-stage renal disease.
If you’re turning 65 soon, you’ll have some critical healthcare decisions to make.
If you aren’t sure as to what all the parts of Medicare are, we have compiled all of them for you.
Known as Medigap Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans fill in the “gaps” of medical costs that aren’t covered by Original Medicare, such as coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles.
Medicare Advantage Plans, or Medicare Part C, can be used to substitute Medicare Part A and B, as well as offer prescription drug coverage.
You can enroll in Original Medicare three months before you turn 65 until three months after the month of your 65th birthday.
We have acquired an abundance of knowledge, and we’re eager to share this expertise with you in the form of articles and blog posts.

In some states, seniors can get dental insurance with no network restrictions. So they can get care from their preferred dental provider and use the plan at any provider’s office.
For example, if you have a cavity, you’ll want to get a filling as soon as you can. That’s the benefit of having an insurance plan with no waiting period.
Typically, dental work is only covered when it’s medically necessary and done in the hospital. Original Medicare doesn’t cover any routine dental work. If jaw surgery is required, Pay A may cover it.
Original Medicare does not cover most vision services. A pair of eyeglasses will most likely be partially covered if used in recovery from cataract surgery. Vision services such as regular checks and eye exams are not covered by Part A or Part B.
However, Medicare covers treatment of conditions that affect the eye, like:
Hearing checks may be covered if they occur during a Medicare-approved appointment. Original Medicare doesn’t cover other things like hearing aids.
Part B may cover a hearing exam if your doctor agrees that it’s necessary. You can ask your healthcare provider if your Medicare plan will cover a certain service. If you’re unsure about a particular area of coverage, reach out to your insurance provider before your appointment.
Many beneficiaries choose to add a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to their A and B benefits. In fact, we strongly recommend doing this. These additional policies include provisions for vision, dental (like teeth cleanings), and hearing, among other items. Some plans pay for 80% of medically necessary emergency care outside of the country.
Part C or Medicare Advantage, is an alternative to Original Medicare. These are health plans sold through private insurance agencies, and they can be tailored to fit your individual coverage needs. If you’re wondering how Part C could benefit you, reach out to us today! We’ll be happy to answer your questions.
Does Medicare Cover Dentures for Seniors?
Unfortunately, Original Medicare doesn’t have coverage for dentures — which can be very expensive. If you joined a Medicare Advantage plan, it may contain ancillary dental benefits. Check with your program to find out if it offers some coverage for dentures.
Does Medicare Cover the Cost of Dental Exams?
No, unless your Medicare physician orders them before you have major (heart) surgery or an organ transplant.
Does Medicare Cover Oral Surgery?
Medicare normally doesn’t cover wisdom teeth removal or oral surgery. But if either of these things is necessary for the treatment of a health condition — going beyond dental care (like radiation for mouth cancer) — then Medicare may cover the surgery or at least a portion of it.
Does Medigap Cover Dental Care?
Since Original Medicare doesn’t cover standard dental care, Medigap won’t either. Medigap plans only supplement your A and B benefits.
