Your best time to buy a Medicare Supplement plan is during your six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins when you're 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this time, you generally cannot be denied coverage due to health conditions.

Medicare Part B helps cover doctor appointments, outpatient care, preventive services, lab work, durable medical equipment, and many other medically necessary services.

Medicare and Travel: If you travel frequently, it's important to understand how your Medicare coverage works away from home. Some plans may offer more flexibility and broader access to care than others.
