Your decision should ideally match your budget and health care demands.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"43\"><strong>Because You Assume Your Spouse Is<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"44\">They can not share a Medicare plan and must have their own. However, you can get a modest discount if you and your spouse buy a plan from the same firm, though this is not required by law. To avoid <a href=\"http:\/\/lavyon.com\/\"><strong>Common Medicare Mistakes,<\/strong><\/a> ask your plan provider for savings before enrolling.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"45\"><strong>On-Time Enrollment<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"46\">Many people do not automatically join Medicare at the age of 65. This program is only open to those who meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"reduce-margin-block-end root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"47\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Social Security benefits begin at age 65.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"reduce-margin-block-end root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"48\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\">have received Social Security disability benefits for the last 24 months and are under 65.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"reduce-margin-block-end root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"49\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You have ALS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"50\">In other words, if you don&#8217;t enroll on time, you&#8217;ll be penalized for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"51\"><strong>Will Medicare Cover Prescription Drugs?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"52\">Original Medicare only covers a few prescription drugs. Private insurance is required if you want complete coverage for all your medications. Compare the options in your region and enroll accordingly.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"53\"><strong>What&#8217;s covered?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"54\">Medicare covers many services but not all health care costs. Determine your out-of-pocket expenditures for non-Medicare services. Another widespread misunderstanding is that treatments such as dentistry, vision, and hearing are covered.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"55\"><strong>Annual Change Notice<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"56\">If you are enrolled in a Medicare or prescription drug plan, you will get this crucial paper in September. It announces any adjustments to the upcoming year&#8217;s prices and coverage. When it comes time to enroll, you can evaluate the plans and switch if you find a better bargain.
