New! Compare Your Out-of-Pocket Costs

There's a new, easy way to estimate and compare your Medicare out-of-pocket costs. Your actual out-of-pocket costs depend on the exact Medicare coverage you have, your health care needs, your prescriptions, and how often you need health care services. Watch a video about this exciting new way to compare your costs.

Providing health and drug cost estimates is just one feature that’s part of the eMedicareinitiative. To stay up-to-date on eMedicare improvements and other important news from Medicare, sign up for our email list and follow us on Facebook.

NEW NTP Self-Paced Course

Immigrants and Medicare

You'll learn when non-United States (U.S.) citizens, who move from other countries to the U.S. may qualify to get Medicare coverage. Timing of enrollment depends on their permanent resident status and how long they've lived in the U.S. It's important to understand how these factors can impact someone's eligibility and timing for Medicare.

Enroll in the course now. You’ll first be prompted to create a user account if you haven’t done so already. After that, you can launch the course. Check back often as we plan to add more courses in the future.
