How Medicare works in Newark

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) is a federal program, so the basics are the same across northern New Jersey — whether you live in the Ironbound, downtown Newark, or out toward the Oranges. What changes locally is which Medicare Advantage and New Jersey Part D plans are offered, because availability and provider networks are set by county.

Essex County is one of New Jersey’s most populous counties, with a large and diverse Medicare population and access to major Newark-area hospitals. With so many options, it helps to have someone compare them side by side. A local, independent advisor reviews the options available at your address — matched to your doctors, your medications, and your budget. New to Medicare? Start with our Medicare 101 guide.
