Based on your response, you should consider a Medicare Supplement or Medigap.

Most Supplements don't include extra benefits (like dental and vision) and by Federal law they cannot cover prescription drugs. You will need to add a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan to avoid any penalties in the future. However, Medicare Supplement companies are allowed to check pre-existing conditions. Unless you are enrolling during your Open Enrollment Period or you have a special guaranteed right, you will have to answer medical questions and they can deny your coverage if you have a condition they deem as a high liability. Having said all that, some people in good health believe that paying for a Medicare Supplement is a waste of their resources and will rather go with a Medicare Advantage. If that is your case, you can go with an HMO. These plans have a lot of extra benefits (like Vision and Gym Membership) and almost every company offers a plan for $0 premium (you must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premiums).

Medicare Supplement companies are allowed to check pre-existing conditions. Unless you are enrolling during your Open Enrollment Period or you have a special guaranteed right, you will have to answer medical questions and they can deny your coverage if you have a condition they deem as a high liability.
