At what age can you get AARP health insurance?
Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. There are many different kinds of Medicare plans. The federal government administers some of these plans. Others, though, can be purchased from private companies. AARP works with United Healthcare to offer Medicare Part C plans, also known as Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage health insurance is a type of Medicare insurance plan. And it is one that is sold by one private company that contracts with Medicare.
Medicare Advantage covers the benefits usually offered by Medicare Parts A and B (traditional Medicare) in one plan, like hospital stays and doctors visit. sIf you don’t qualify for Medicare, you have several other insurance options for high quality health care coverage as well. You can see if you’re eligible for Medicaid or Obamacare health insurance plans at the links listed. All of these types of plans cover pre-existing conditions, prescription drugs, emergency care, mental health, and more.
