More Coverage for NC Seniors
B&W Insurance and Education helps North Carolina seniors add dental, vision, hearing, and indemnity coverage to their Medicare plan — so nothing important gets left out.
Original Medicare Leaves Key Benefits Uncovered
Original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover routine dental care, eye exams, eyeglasses, hearing aids, or most dental procedures. These are considered non-covered services, and seniors on a fixed income can face significant out-of-pocket costs for each. Additional coverage plans exist specifically to fill these gaps.
Many people are surprised to learn just how much Original Medicare leaves out. A single hearing aid can cost thousands of dollars, and routine dental cleanings and vision correction are entirely on you unless you have additional coverage. Those costs add up quickly, especially on a fixed income.B&W Insurance and Education helps Medicare-eligible residents across North Carolina identify which coverage gaps apply to their situation and which supplemental plans are available to address them. If you are ready to look at what extra coverage might make sense for you, the options in the next section are a good place to start.
Supplemental Plans Available Through B&W Insurance and Education
B&W Insurance and Education offers access to a range of supplemental coverage options designed to work alongside your existing Medicare plan. These plans are chosen to fill the gaps Original Medicare leaves behind, giving you greater peace of mind and more predictable out-of-pocket costs throughout the year.
Affordable Dental Vision and Hearing Plans for North Carolina Medicare Recipients
Standalone dental plans cover routine cleanings, X-rays, and basic restorative work, a practical choice for anyone who visits the dentist at least once a year. Vision plans cover eye exams and provide an allowance toward glasses or contact lenses, making them well worth the monthly premium for most eyeglass wearers. Hearing coverage helps offset the cost of hearing exams and hearing aids, which Medicare does not cover at all. Hospital indemnity coverage pays a set daily benefit when you are hospitalized, helping to cover the costs. Original Medicare leaves some costs unpaid, such as copays and deductibles. Medical indemnity plans provide fixed cash benefits for covered medical events, giving you money you can use however you need it during a health episode. Burial insurance is a low-cost, fixed-benefit option for beneficiaries who want to protect their family from final expense costs and avoid leaving behind unpaid bills.
Low-cost Medicare plan options are also available for beneficiaries with limited budgets, including plans with little or no monthly premium. Working with a local agent who knows these options makes it easier to find a plan that fits without overpaying. Selecting a supplemental plan on your own without personalized guidance can mean missing coverage that would have cost you very little and saved you a great deal.
