of Medicare. You don't have to do anything with Part A & B. This covers 80% of your medical expenses.

If you want an Advantage Plan ~ all those that are advertised on TV ~ you will need to check to see what is available to you where you live. Many of them are O cost and have dental, vision and prescription coverage.

If you want to stay with original Medicare there are numerous plans but the cost is significantly higher than an Advantage plan. There is NO coverage for dental, vision or prescriptions. If you have prescriptions, you would need to also add a prescription plan.

You can call Medicare directly and someone can help you.
