Tips to Sign Up for Medicare Online
Knowing your priorities for your healthcare plan can help you compare plans with ease. Consider the following questions before your search:
-
What premiums can I afford?
-
Does the plan I choose need to accept my current doctor, or am I comfortable switching doctors?
-
Would it bother me to need a referral from my primary care physician to see a specialist?
-
Do I care about additional benefits such as coverage for dental, hearing, vision, fitness programs, transportation, or chiropractic care?
-
Do I have prescription drugs that require coverage?
Take note of your current prescriptions and physicians.
You can narrow down Medicare plans in your area by including your current physicians (full name and office address are helpful) and prescriptions to find a plan that best fits your needs. Knowing these ahead of time will make your enrollment process faster and easier.
Find your Medicare card.
You’ll need your Medicare number and Part A and B effective dates for your Medicare Advantage online enrollment. As a reminder, this card is red, white and blue in color and has your Medicare Number on it, which you will need when you enroll. This number is not your Social Security Number. Make sure your Medicare card is nearby when you’re ready to enroll.
Online enrollment doesn’t cost a cent.
You should not have to pay a fee for online enrollment. In fact, licensed insurance agents and agencies are not allowed to charge fees. Licensed insurance agents are paid by the private insurance companies, which are contracted with the federal government. Legitimate companies offering Medicare plans will not charge you to enroll online, but you will still be responsible for your premiums.
