Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Medicare News a government website?
No. Medicare News is an independent site and is not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program.
Where do I get personal help with Medicare?
Call 1-800-MEDIGAP, our toll-free line for Medicare supplemental insurance support, or request contact from a licensed agent listed here.
Is Medicare Advantage or Medigap better?
Neither is universally better — Medicare Advantage often costs less up front but limits you to a network and can require referrals or prior authorization, while Medigap generally means more provider choice and predictable costs but a separate Part D premium and medical underwriting outside guaranteed-issue windows. A licensed agent can walk through your specific situation.
What changes about Medicare each year?
Premiums, deductibles, plan offerings and the annual enrollment period's specific dates change every year and are set by the federal government — we describe the kinds of changes to expect without quoting figures that will be outdated by the time you read them. Call 1-800-MEDIGAP or check Medicare.gov for this year's numbers.
Do you report real-time news events?
No. Medicare News publishes evergreen explainers on how Medicare, retirement and aging generally work, not breaking news tied to specific current events or dates.
Is this medical, legal or financial advice?
No. Medicare News is educational and referral content only — confirm your specific situation with a licensed agent, Medicare.gov, or your own qualified advisor.
