Read below to learn more.When selecting a plan, seniors should pay attention to several key factors:Costs: Compare premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses for different plans.Even small cost changes can add up, so looking at the full picture is essential, not just the monthly premium.Coverage: Ensure your doctors, hospitals, and preferred pharmacies remain in the plans network.Check if your prescription medications are covered and whether changes to drug tiers or co-pays will affect you.Quality Ratings: Medicare assigns star ratings to plans based on quality and patient satisfaction.

Plans with higher ratings often provide better care and services.Extra Benefits: Medicare Advantage plans may offer additional services like dental, vision, or fitness programs that are unavailable under Original Medicare.However, Advantage plans can be more restrictive on care access, and switching out of some plans may be difficult.They may also limit benefits, making some care quite costly if needed.It is important to compare your options carefully.Visit Medicares official website:Go toMedicare.govto use their Plan Finder tool.
