You have two main paths after Original Medicare:
- Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans cover gaps in Original Medicare. Plan G and Plan N are the most popular in Monmouth County. Rates vary by carrier and zip code.
- Medicare Advantage plans bundle hospital, medical, and often drug coverage into one plan. Several major carriers offer $0-premium options in Monmouth County with added dental and vision.
Which path fits you depends on your doctors, your medications, and how you use healthcare. That's what a comparison call sorts out.
How your zip code affects your premium
Monmouth County spans dozens of zip codes, from 07701 (Red Bank) to 07728 (Freehold) to 07753 (Neptune). Carriers price Medigap plans differently across these areas.
Medicare Advantage networks also shift by zip code. A plan available in Marlboro might not cover your doctors in Long Branch. Always verify provider networks before you enroll.
Key enrollment dates for Monmouth County residents
- Initial Enrollment: 3 months before your 65th birthday through 3 months after (7-month window).
- Medigap Open Enrollment: 6 months starting the month you turn 65 and have Part B. This is your guaranteed-issue window for Supplement plans.
- Annual Open Enrollment: October 15 through December 7 for Medicare Advantage and Part D changes.
- Part B late penalty: 10% added to your $202.90/month premium for every 12 months you delayed without creditable coverage.
2026 costs every Monmouth County enrollee should know
- Part B premium: $202.90/month
- Part B deductible: $283/year
- Part A hospital deductible: $1,676 per benefit period
- Skilled nursing coinsurance (days 21-100): $209.50/day
These costs are why most people add either a Supplement or Advantage plan. Without one, a single hospital stay can cost thousands out of pocket.
