Understanding the A, B, C, and D’s of Medicare
Every fall, Medicare gives you the chance to make changes to your health coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). This year, it feels more important than ever to take a close look at your options.
Here’s why:
Prescription drug costs are shifting under the new rules from the Inflation Reduction Act. That means your current plan may look very different going into 2026.
Some Medicare Advantage plans are adjusting their benefits and networks, which could impact the doctors and services available to you.
Monthly premiums, copays, and out-of-pocket limits are not the same as last year — and if you don’t compare, you might end up paying more for the same care.
I know it can be frustrating. Medicare has so many moving parts, and when the rules change, it’s easy to feel unsure about what to do next.
That’s why I hosted a Medicare 101 Webinar where I went back to the basics. We walked through the A, B, C, and D’s of Medicare in plain language:
Part A – Hospital coverage
Part B – Doctor visits and outpatient care
Part C – Medicare Advantage (a bundled option that may include extras)
Part D – Prescription drug coverage
This webinar was designed to help you cut through the confusion and start from a place of clarity. Whether you’re new to Medicare or re-evaluating your plan, understanding these building blocks makes it easier to decide what’s right for you.
