Understanding Medicare and what it covers
Understanding Medicare and what it covers
Medicare is the federal insurance program for people age 65 or older and for some people with certain illnesses or disabilities.
Did you know Medicare is made up of four parts? Each one covers various types of care and services. Learn more about the ABCs of Medicare.
You can apply for Medicare online at ssa.gov, or enroll at your local Social Security office.
The ${company} recommends enrolling in Medicare as early as possible to avoid a delay in the start of your Medicare coverage, which could result in out-of-pocket expenses.
Enrolling in Medicare
Enrolling in Medicare
For most people, the Medicare enrollment period opens three months before they turn 65 and ends three months after their birthday. For example, if your 65th birthday falls in May, you can join Medicare between February and August of that year.
Depending on your situation, you may be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B).
Call us at ${groupPhoneNumber} ${tty}, ${memberhours} or visit medicare.gov for more detailed enrollment information.
Getting to know the Medicare Advantage plan
Getting to know the Medicare Advantage plan
The FOP is dedicated to helping all of its members and their families thrive and improve their standard of living. That’s why the FOP has teamed up with Aetna to offer four Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO plan options. Each option provides comprehensive medical, prescription, hearing, and vision benefits. These benefits include plans to fit any budget.
With Aetna Medicare Advantage, you get:
- Predictable, lower costs than your current plan may have, and a yearly limit on out-of-pocket expenses
- Original Medicare Parts A and B coverage — so you’ll continue to pay your Part B premium
- Services to complement your doctors’ care — at no extra cost to you
- Continued access to your doctors — use any provider who accepts Medicare and agrees to accept the Aetna plan before treating you
If your doctor isn’t in Aetna’s nationwide network, it’s not usually a problem — you can call us and we’ll be happy to reach out to them for you. You don’t need a referral to see a specialist.
