Once you have Parts A and B, there are two different routes you can go. This is either a Nevada Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plan.

 

Both of these choices have pros and cons. Depending on your specific situation, one choice may be better suited for you. This is why comparing options with a licensed professional is so important.

Supplement Plans

Nevada Medicare Supplement Plans allow you to go to any doctor or facility in the United States that accepts Medicare patients, and generally cover all medical expenses after a small deductible (Plan G).
  • Supplement plans have a monthly premium. The amount will depend on your age and gender when enrolling.
  • Covers the remainder of the bill after your Part B deductible (Plan G). There are many other plan options but Plan G provides the most coverage.
  • Requires medical questionnaire UNLESS you're turning 65, leaving a Medicare Advantage plan in your first year, or leaving a group plan (other exceptions apply)
  • You can purchase it at any time, not just October 15th through December 7th.
  • You can visit any doctor or hospital who accepts patients over 65 years old and as a result, there is little restriction on the doctors you can choose from.
  • These do not include prescription drug coverage. A great tool for shopping drug plans can be found here: Part D plan search.

Advantage Plans

Nevada Medicare Advantage plans have premiums as low as $0!  Many also include prescription benefits with their medical plan.

  • In exchange for the low premiums, many plans limit the doctors who are covered.
  • Includes a maximum out-of-pocket. This limits the amount you pay annually for doctors and hospitals.
  • Very low co-pays are offered for most routine medical services
  • All rates are the same per zip code, regardless of age or sex
  • Need to be in a Special Enrollment Period or Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 - Dec 7th) to start coverage unless you are turning 65.
