Medicare Guidance Services

Navigate Medicare with Confidence

Choosing the right Medicare plan can be overwhelming. Island Federal’s dedicated Medicare Guidance Services are here to help you understand your options, find the best coverage for your needs, and enroll with confidence

Medicare Guidance You Can Trust

If you’re approaching age 65 or already enrolled in Medicare, understanding your coverage options doesn’t have to be complicated. Island Federal Credit Union now offers dedicated Medicare Guidance Services with a licensed specialist to help you maximize your benefits.

Our specialist will walk you through the Medicare process, help you cut through the red tape, and ensure you’re not missing out on important coverage. Since Medicare options can change annually, it’s important to have an expert review your benefits each year.

This is a free service available to all Island Federal Members with no further obligation. Meet in person at any of our Long Island branches or connect virtually — whichever works best for you.

Understanding Your Medicare Options

Medicare is made up of different parts, each covering specific healthcare needs. Here’s a quick overview to help you get started.

Hospital Insurance

Helps cover inpatient care in hospitals, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and home health care services.

Medical Insurance

Covers services from doctors and other healthcare providers, outpatient care, home health care, durable medical equipment, and many preventive services.

Medicare Insurance

An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare offered by private companies approved by Medicare. Often includes Part A, Part B, and usually Part D coverage.

Prescription Drug Coverage

A stand-alone drug plan that adds prescription drug coverage to Original Medicare, helping cover the cost of your medications.
