With 90% of Iowa land devoted solely to agriculture, it’s clear that residents know a thing or two about hard work. When they’re taking a much-needed break, Iowans know how to relax: Iowa has more golf courses per capita than any other state. Residents of the Hawkeye State stay healthy to maintain their work-life balance. Having a Medicare plan can help keep that balance in check at affordable rates. Join the more than 600,000 Iowans who are enrolled in Medicare today.*

Most Iowans who are 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.
