Medicare Coverage & Costs

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 years and older and certain younger people with disabilities.

2025 is an exciting year for the Medicare program as a number of changes to coverage and costs will take effect. These changes, like the $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs in Medicare Part D, were implemented to protect patients. It is even more important to shop around during the Medicare Open Enrollment Period to find a drug plan that best fits your needs. Even if you are happy with your current Medicare coverage, keep in mind that Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplemental health and drug plans can make changes each year (things like cost, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in their networks) so it’s always best to check each year which plan is best for you.
