It’s a medical insurance that people can access from 65 years old onwards. You can choose these options, during certain times of the year, and also according to your coverage. Divided into two main forms, Medicare Original and Medicare Advantage. Treat yourself by having either of the two options at our clinic located at 6822 W Waters Ave – Tampa, FL 33634.

It’s an additional insurance that you can buy from a private company which helps pay your costs in Medicare Original. Policies are standardized and in most states are named with letters, like Plan G or Plan K. The benefits in each lettered plan are the same no matter which insurance company sells it.
