Medicare
Navigating Medicare can be challenging for seasoned professionals. For many older adults, it can be next to impossible. That's why millions miss out on special benefits that can help them pay for health care.
We're working to improve Medicare programs for individuals with limited means — and sign up more older adults who can benefit. We also help Medicare beneficiaries better understand their coverage, so they can make informed choices.
How We Help
- Helping Beneficiaries in Greatest Need
We're urging Congress to improve Medicare programs for seniors with limited means. These programs help them pay for prescription drugs, premiums, and cost-sharing. See what we're asking for. - Medicare, Plain and Simple
Our My Medicare Matters Web site helps older adults make the most of their Medicare benefits -- including prescription drug coverage. The site is available in both English and Spanish. Find information on Medicare. - A Community of Medicare Professionals
