🚨 5 Medicare GAPS You Should Know About!
Medicare covers a lot—but Original Medicare doesn't cover everything.
Here are 5 common gaps to be aware of:
🦷 Dental – Routine cleanings, fillings, dentures & most dental care aren't generally covered.
👓 Vision – Routine eye exams for glasses and most eyeglasses aren't covered.
👂 Hearing – Hearing aids and hearing-aid fitting exams aren't covered.
🏠Long-Term Care – Medicare generally doesn't cover ongoing custodial long-term care.
💰 Out-of-Pocket Costs – Original Medicare doesn't have an annual out-of-pocket maximum.
So how can you fill the gaps?
Depending on your situation, options may include Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), Part D, dental/vision coverage, or long-term-care planning.
