Signing up late costs you
If you could have had Part B and didn't sign up on time, the premium rises 10% for each full 12 months of delay, for as long as you have Medicare.
What Original Medicare doesn't cover
Most dental, vision and hearing aids, and it has no annual out-of-pocket cap. That's why many choose Advantage or a Supplement.
You can switch every fall
From October 15 to December 7 you can review your plan and change it for next year.
