About EZ Health Benefits

EZ Health Benefits is a free library of Medicare guides. We explain the parts of Medicare, enrollment periods and penalties, Medigap, Medicare Advantage and drug plans, and the programs that help people pay — without selling anything. There are currently 18 articles across 3 topics, plus a glossary of 55 terms.

EZ Health Benefits is an independent publication that explains Medicare in plain English. We help you understand your choices — we never sell or recommend plans.

How we write our articles

• Facts — definitions, dates, versions, platform rules and who created which framework — are checked against primary or authoritative sources such as Medicare.gov, CMS, the Social Security Administration, the SHIP national technical assistance center and state insurance departments. They’re listed and linked at the end of each article.
• Each article shows the date it was last reviewed, and we revisit articles as guidance changes.
• We don’t invent people, quotes, statistics or case studies. Examples are clearly labeled as hypothetical. Paid placements are always labeled “Sponsored.”

Corrections

If something in an article is wrong or out of date, please tell us. We’ll check it against the source and update the article and its review date.
