Medicare decisions are confusing by design. There are dozens of plans, a handful of enrollment windows, and a lot riding on getting it right. In 2026, the Part B premium alone runs $202.90 a month, and choosing the wrong plan path can mean paying that twice over in surprise costs down the road.

Our job is to lay out your options clearly, answer your questions, and help you enroll in coverage that actually fits your health needs and budget.

Whether you are new to Medicare or thinking about switching plans, we will walk you through it in plain language, not insurance jargon.

Types of Medicare plans

Medicare is not one plan, it is a system with several parts that work differently depending on the path you choose. Here is the short version of what each piece does.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B)

Hospital and medical coverage run directly through the federal government. You can see any doctor who accepts Medicare, but you are responsible for deductibles, copays, and coinsurance on your own.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

A private policy that pairs with Original Medicare to cover the gaps, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, in exchange for a higher monthly premium. You keep the freedom to see any provider who accepts Medicare.

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

A private plan that bundles Parts A and B, and usually Part D, into one policy. Often comes with a $0 or low premium and extra benefits like dental or vision, but typically requires using a network of providers.

Part D (prescription drugs)

Standalone drug coverage for anyone on Original Medicare with a Medigap policy. In 2026, out-of-pocket drug costs are capped at $2,100 a year. Most Medicare Advantage plans include drug coverage built in.

Why work with Volk?

We are independent. We are not employed by an insurance carrier and do not get paid more for recommending one plan over another.

Medicare plan premiums are set by the government and carriers, not by us, so working with an independent advisor never adds to your cost. We know the deadlines.

We help you enroll on time and avoid late fees. We know this stuff and we are here to help.
