While many people may complain about the recent Health Care Reform Act by calling it a form of “socialized medicine”, senior citizens in Colorado have access to health insurance coverage that is similar in nature. If you are a Colorado senior citizen who is 65 or older, or an individual with a disability, Medicare Part A will cover hospital and inpatient services. Medicare Part B will cover doctor's visits and other outpatient services, however this plan will not cover everything.
Applying for Medicare is no more complicated than applying for any other form of Colorado health insurance coverage, and it doesn’t need to be confusing. In fact, if you are receiving Social Security benefits, you will be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B automatically on the first day of the month you turn 65. Most seniors are already aware of this well before they turn 65, because their Medicare card is usually delivered a few months before their 65th birthday.
Where things can start to become confusing is when a senior citizen begins to look into Medicare supplemental health insurance. These plans are available in five standard healthcare plans, known simply as A, F, High Deductible F, G and N, and each includes a different level of supplemental health insurance for seniors.
When it comes time to purchase Medicare supplemental insurance, many Colorado seniors look to the same trusted Colorado health insurance plans they have relied upon for years. However, these companies don’t always offer the most competitive rates. While companies like Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield are considered household names in Colorado, their rates may not be as affordable as another plan.

Praise from Clients
"I taught school for many years and never really had to worry about insurance. I am now self-employed finding the right health insurance has been a big worry. I tried one insurance company but had to pay for everything up front, even office calls. I switched to BCBS and, though I have only used it one time, everything went very smoothly and I only had to pay the copay. Thank you BCBS and Healthquotes!!"
