Summer time means being outside.  And sometimes, that means that insects think that we’re delicious, and begin to bite.

 Fortunately, most bites by mosquitos, flies, fleas and even ticks do NOT cause disease. That being said, the best thing to do for your kids and yourself is to try to prevent the bite in the first place.

Once you enroll in Medicare Part A (hospital care) & Part B (medical care), you will need to decide how you’ll get your Medicare coverage. One option is to choose Original Medicare. Original Medicare is health insurance offered by the federal government and includes a set amount of coverage for Medicare Part A & Part B.

 

If you’re like most people, you’ll want to enroll in Medicare Parts A (hospital care coverage) and Part B (medical care coverage) sometime between the 3 months before and the 3 months after turning 65 to avoid costly penalties. Once you enroll in Medicare Part A & Part B, you will need to decide how you’ll get your Medicare coverage.
 
 

Many people aren’t aware that there are penalties from the federal government for not enrolling in Part B (coverage for doctor visits and medical services) and Part D (coverage for prescription drugs) on time.
