Medicare Checklist
This guide outlines the steps seniors can take to better prepare for Medicare enrollment.
Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) Plans
If you're enrolled in Original Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B), a Medigap plan can help cover some of your out-of-pocket health care costs.
Getting Medigap With Pre-existing Conditions
You can buy Medicare Supplement insurance with a pre-existing condition if you buy your plan during your Medigap open enrollment period.
Do Medicare Supplement Insurance Policies Cover Prescription Drugs?
Medicare Supplement insurance policies do not include prescription drug coverage. If you need this benefit, you can enroll in a Medicare Part D plan.
Medicare and Medigap Alzheimer’s Coverage
Medicare provides some coverage for Alzheimer’s Disease treatments. Medigap can help cover some costs for treatment and necessary long-term care.
Does Medicare Cover Incontinence Supplies?
Original Medicare does not cover traditional incontinence supplies, including adult diapers, underwear and pads.
Does Medicare Cover Physicals?
Medicare does not cover physical exams. However, you can check up on your health with Medicare's annual wellness visits.
Does Medicare Cover Varicose Vein Treatment?
Medicare may cover the treatment of varicose veins if it is medically necessary. Learn more about the out-of-pocket Medicare insurance costs you can expect.
Does Medicare Cover Wigs?

Does Medigap Cover Dental and Vision Care?
Medicare Supplement insurance does not cover dental and vision. Medicare may cover some dental and vision costs, but only in certain situations.
