Why Union City Families Choose a Local Agent
Union City packs nearly 69,000 people into about 1.3 square miles on top of the Palisades. Many families have lived here for generations, from the days when the city was called the Embroidery Capital of the country. Others arrived more recently and are learning a new health system in a second language.
A local agent knows the questions people here really ask. Will my plan cover my doctor in Manhattan? Can I keep my pharmacy on Bergenline? What happens to my coverage if I spend winters with family in the Caribbean? We answer those questions before you sign anything.

Parts A, B, C and D Without the Jargon
Think of Medicare as four building blocks. Part A is the hospital block, with a 2026 deductible of $1,736 each time a new benefit period starts. Part B handles checkups, tests and outpatient visits; this year it costs most people $202.90 monthly, with a $283 deductible before it starts paying.
Part C, or Medicare Advantage, lets a private plan handle your A and B benefits, often with drug coverage built in. Part D covers prescriptions on its own. In 2026 your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs are capped at $2,100, and covered insulin is $35 a month or less.

Comparing Plans Side by Side
The plan with the lowest premium is not always the cheapest plan. A $0 plan can cost more over a year if your medicines sit on a high tier, or if your specialist is out of network.
So we build a side-by-side view for you. It shows each plan's premium, its copays, its drug costs for your exact prescriptions and whether your doctors take it. You see the trade-offs clearly, and the choice stays yours.
If you take several medicines, our Part D drug plan page explains how drug tiers and pharmacy networks work.

You can read more on the Union City senior affairs page (ucnj.com)(link leaves this site).
Many of our clients also enjoy the senior center at the William V. Musto Cultural Center, walks around Washington Park on the Jersey City line and the quiet paths of Reservoir Park on Palisade Avenue. When we compare plans, we keep your daily routine in mind, because the right plan should fit the way you live.
Key Medicare Dates to Remember
Every autumn, between October 15 and December 7, people on Medicare may pick a new Advantage or drug plan, or leave the one they have. Whatever you choose then takes effect on New Year's Day.
Already enrolled in Medicare Advantage? From January 1 through March 31 you get one more shot: a single change to a different Advantage plan, or a move back to Original Medicare.
Turning 65 soon? Your first chance to enroll lasts seven months around your birthday month. Missing it can mean a penalty that lasts for life, so our turning 65 guide explains each step. And once you are set up, a yearly annual plan review keeps your coverage current.
This year's key numbers: $202.90 standard monthly cost for Part B · $283 before Part B pays · $1,736 hospital deductible per benefit period · $2,100 yearly ceiling on drug spending · $35 monthly limit on covered insulin.
Figures are for 2026 and change each year. Last reviewed October 30, 2026.

Protect Yourself From Medicare Scams
Real agents never ask for your Medicare number on a first call, and nobody from Medicare phones people out of the blue to push a plan. If a caller pushes you to decide right away, hang up. You can report suspicious calls through Medicare's fraud reporting page (Medicare.gov)(link leaves this site).
Click to CallUnion City Medicare Questions
Do I have to pay for a plan review?
No. You never pay us. If you enroll, the insurer pays our commission, and your premium stays exactly what it would be without us.
Can we do the whole conversation in Spanish?
Yes. Many of our Union City clients prefer Spanish, and we can explain every form and plan letter in the language you are most comfortable with.
I already have a plan. Should I still check it?
Yes. Plans can change their networks, drug lists and copays every January. A quick look each fall tells you whether your plan still fits.
Is this website part of Medicare?
No. This site belongs to an independent, privately owned agency with no tie to Medicare or any government office.
What should I gather before we talk?
We never need your Medicare number just to review options. A list of your medicines, your doctors' names and your pharmacy are enough.
