Even the Curse of the Billy Goat can't keep you from getting Medicare in Illinois. With plenty of different Medicare plans to choose from, there’s a plan for each Illinoisan! Whether you’re looking for a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare supplement plans, you can find an option that suits you at an affordable rate.
Most Illinois residents 65 or older and legal US residents are eligible for Medicare. Some residents under 65 with certain health conditions may be eligible as well. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) gives you plenty of coverage, but for those seeking more benefits, Medicare Advantage plans have you covered. The plans may have vision, dental, hearing and prescription drug coverage.
Medicare’s varied options have different levels of eligibility. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your eligibility for Medicare plans, including Aetna Medicare Advantage, make the call. A friendly, licensed agent can help.
There are three primary Medicare enrollment periods:
If you’re turning 65 soon and enrolling in Medicare for the first time, you have the month of your 65th birthday and a three-month grace period before and after your birthday known as the Initial Enrollment Period.
Already have Original Medicare and want to upgrade your coverage by switching to a Medicare Advantage plan? Make the switch during the Annual Enrollment Period which starts October 15th and ends December 7th every year.
Under some circumstances, you may be able to enroll in a Medicare plan during a Special Enrollment Period. For example, you may be able to enroll in coverage or switch plans if you’ve recently moved to an area where your current plan is not covered. Talk to one of our licensed agents today to see if your special circumstance applies.
