Living a healthy life has its benefits, and Wellcare offers Medicare plans beyond the basics.

Dr. Alan Smith from WellCare talked with Jason Carr to help explain Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and what people can get covered. Medicare is the baseline federal health insurance program available for seniors and those with certain disabilities. Medicare Advantage includes Medicare Part A, B and D, plus additional benefits. Plans through Medicare Advantage can lessen out-of-pocket expenses, and can include benefits for hearing, dental and vision, depending on a plan. “We want to make sure every senior has adequate coverage, especially during the pandemic,” Smith said.
