Medicare Made Easy
We understand the challenges our patients face when navigating the complex Medicare system. Greater Good Health is here to help so that you can focus on what matters most – your health and well-being.
Traditional Medicare
Greater Good Health accepts Traditional Medicare at some of our locations. Traditional Medicare, also known as Original Medicare, is a fee-for-service plan that includes Part A (hospital coverage) and Part B (outpatient and doctor visits). Many patients may also opt in to add a Medicap (supplement) plan to help cover out-of-pocket costs.
Medicare Advantage
Greater Good Health is in network with some Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Part C) cover everything that Traditional Medicare does and may include additional benefits that go beyond basic medical care. Medicare Advantage plans may offer coordinated care through a provider network, wellness services, fitness programs, dental/vision programs, and more. Many Medicare Advantage plans also cap your out-of-pocket costs for the year to protect you financially.

Commonly Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Our clinics accept traditional Medicare, Medicare supplements, and Medicare Advantage plans. Some plans may vary by state so please give us a call at 833-779-0985 for more details regarding your specific insurance plan.
When can I enroll in Medicare?
The Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) for Medicare begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after. Each year, you have the opportunity to review and make changes to your current Medicare coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs from October 15th to December 7th. Additionally, if you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can make one change to your coverage during the Open Enrollment Period (OEP), which occurs from January 1st to March 31st each year. Certain circumstances may also qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) outside of the AEP, such as losing employer coverage or moving out of your plan’s service area. Understanding the enrollment periods and timelines is crucial to ensure you have timely access to the benefits and coverage you need.
What are the different parts of Medicare?
Medicare is divided into four parts: Part A, which covers hospital insurance; Part B, which covers medical insurance; Part C, which refers to Medicare Advantage plans; and Part D, which provides prescription drug coverage. Each part serves a specific purpose and offers different services, ensuring comprehensive healthcare coverage for individuals enrolled in Medicare.
How much does a primary care appointment cost under Medicare or Medicare Advantage?
The cost of a primary care appointment under Medicare or Medicare Advantage can vary depending on several factors, such as the specific plan you have and the services provided during the appointment. It’s important to review your plan’s details or contact your plan directly to understand the cost-sharing requirements for doctor’s appointments.
