Medicare 101: What You Need to Know for 2026-2027
Navigating the complexities of Medicare is both a necessity and a burden. A variety of coverage options, pricing, and public/private coverage can leave people feeling uncertain and discouraged.
With such an important choice, how can you be sure you’re choosing the right coverage?
On October 8th we hosted a webinar with Shane Thomas of Integrity Health Advisors. They are independent insurance advisors who specialize in helping clients evaluate available Medicare options and make the appropriate selections.
This webinar was designed to help you understand the many parts of Medicare, when (and how) to enroll, and what recent updates could mean for your choices going forward.
During this session we cover:
- Who qualifies for Medicare and when to enroll
- The differences between Parts A, B, C (Advantage), and D (Prescription Drug Plans)
- What’s covered, what isn’t—and how to fill the gaps with supplemental coverage
- What’s new for 2026-2027, including updated costs and timelines
- Penalties to avoid, and tips to help you make informed, confident decisions
