Senior Medicare Advantage plan insurance in Beaufort, SC
Trying to pick a health insurance plan can be a chore for anyone. For many people, just mentioning the word "open enrollment" sends shivers down the spine. It seems like there's always a nagging feeling that you're wasting money, choosing a plan with poor in-network care, or both. One would think that health insurance gets easier as you approach retirement age, but the truth is that picking an initial Medicare coverage plan can be daunting.
Unfortunately, the confusing process of signing up for Medicare causes many seniors to forego healthcare coverage altogether. After all, Medicare enrollment can involve several federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration (or SSA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (or CMS).
At Senior Medicare Insurance Services, our passion is guiding seniors through the confusion of Medicare. That way, they can enjoy retirement with peace of mind knowing they are protected and ready for life after 65. We work with dozens of insurance companies, giving our clients the chance to choose a plan that best fits their lifestyle.
We choose to design our senior insurance plans with a focus on optimal benefits structure, lower costs, and personalized service. Some independent insurance agencies see their aging customers as nothing more than a financial transaction waiting to happen. In contrast, we treat each of our clients with respect and dignity as we help them navigate the confusing waters of Medicare. Combined with individualized service, we help older Americans make well-informed decisions about insurance. Whether you're in need of senior Medicare Supplement Plan insurance in Beaufort or simply have questions about signing up for Medicare, our team is here to help.

What is Medicare?
If you're approaching the golden years of your life, it's important you understand what Medicare is if you don't already.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program reserved for people older than 65 who have worked full-time for at least ten years. The Medicare program is paid for by a combination of worker payroll tax, premiums paid by Medicare enrollees, and the U.S. government.
There are four parts of Medicare:
This type of Medicare is free for most U.S. citizens. Medicare Part A helps older adults pay for care in a nursing facility, hospital visits, and some forms of in-home senior care.
This tier costs around $100 per month. It covers different outpatient services like lab tests, preventative care, doctor's visits, mental health care, clinical trials, and some forms of surgery.
This type of Medicare is most often called Medicare Advantage. This tier of Medicare allows seniors to choose health plans provided by insurance companies like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. Individuals who use Medicare Advantage commonly use Medicare supplement plan insurance to help pay for health care costs that Original Medicare won't cover, like coinsurance, deductibles, and copayments.
Sometimes called "PDPs," these plans add drug coverage to standard Medicare, some Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plans (PFFS), some Medicare Cost Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans (MSA).
The amount of money you pay for your health care depends on several factors, including:
- What kind of care you need, and how often it is needed.
- The type of Medicare coverage you choose.
- Whether there are alternative insurance policies that will help fill gaps in your coverage
- Whether a doctor agrees to charge you the same amount that Medicare will cover for a medical service
At Senior Medicare Insurance Services, we offer a number of health insurance solutions for seniors. Two of our most used services include Medicare Advantage plan insurance and Medicare supplement plan insurance.
Senior Medicare Supplement Plan Insurance in Beaufort
Sometimes called Medigap, the purpose of Medicare Supplement Insurance is to help fill in "gaps" that might not be covered by Original Medicare. You can think of a Medigap policy as a supplement for your Original Medicare benefits.
Private companies like Senior Medicare Insurance Services sell this type of insurance right here in South Carolina. While Original Medicare will pay for much of the cost associated with health care services you need, it may not cover all of your expenses. Generally, Medigap policies do not cover costs stemming from eyeglasses, private-duty nurses, dental care, hearing aids, or long-term care.
Depending on the Medicare Supplement Plan that you choose, it may cover out-of-the-country medical services when you travel abroad. Assuming you have Original Medicare coverage, your policy will cover its share of Medicare-approved health care costs. Once your Original Medicare coverage reaches its limit, your Medigap policy will pay its share of the fees.
Our Medigap policies are drafted to meet your specific needs, and can help cover remaining health care costs such as:
Deductibles
Copayments
Coinsurance
Important Information About Senior Supplement Plan Insurance
To dispel some confusion, you should know that a Medigap policy is not the same as a Medicare Advantage Plan. The latter helps you receive Medicare benefits, while the former supplements the benefits you obtain through your Original Medicare plan. As you begin to explore Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, keep the following important information in mind:
As you begin to explore Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, keep the following important information in mind:
- To qualify for a Medigap policy, you must first have Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B.
- Payments on your Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan will be made to the private insurance company that you choose, like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. These payments are made every month and are paid in addition to the monthly payment you make for Medicare Part B.
- If you are the holder of a Medicare Advantage Plan, it is illegal for an insurance company to sell you a senior Medicare Supplement Policy. If you plan on switching back to an Original Medicare plan, you may be able to purchase a Medigap policy.
- If you have health problems as you age, your standardized Medigap policy is guaranteed to be renewable. So long as you pay your monthly premium, your insurance provider cannot cancel your policy.
- Medigap policies only cover one person. If you have a spouse or family member that would like coverage, they must purchase a separate policy.
- You may only buy a Senior Medicare Supplement Plan from an insurance agent that is licensed to sell them in your state. Senior Medicare Insurance Services has been licensed to sell Medigap policies in South Carolina for years. We have helped countless seniors get the Medicare coverage they need and continue to do so to this day.
- In the past, Medigap policies were able to cover costs related to prescription drugs. As of January 1st, 2006, prescription drug coverage is not available on Medicare Supplement Plans. The best way to get coverage for your prescription drugs is to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, often called Part D. Contact our office today to learn more about paying premiums on Medigap and Medicare plans.
For many people, the best time to buy senior Medicare Supplement Plan Insurance in Beaufort is during the 7 months Medigap Open Enrollment Period. This period starts the day you turn 65 years old, so long as you hold Medical Insurance (Medicare Part B). Generally, during the enrollment period, you get more policy choices and better pricing. Once the enrollment period is over, you may not be able to purchase a Medigap policy. Contact Senior Medicare Insurance Services today to determine if you qualify for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan.
Senior Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance in Beaufort, SC
A Medicare Advantage Plan is a kind of Medicare health coverage designed to provide seniors with all their Part A and Part B Medicare benefits. Many Medicare Advantage Plans will often include coverage of the following:
- Preferred Provider Organizations
- Special Needs Plans
- Private Fee-for-Service
- Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans
- Health Maintenance Organizations
In addition, most Medicare Advantage Plans give seniors coverage for their prescription drug needs. When you enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan through Senior Medicare Insurance Services, your Medicare benefits are covered through your plan and will not be paid for by traditional Medicare.
How Medicare Advantage Plans Work
Sometimes called "MA Plans" or "Part C," Medicare Advantage Plans are considered an "all in one" solution to Original Medicare. Senior Medicare Advantage Plans are only offered by private companies that are approved, like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. Seniors who enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan are still on Medicare. However, these individuals enjoy bundled plans that give seniors the benefits of hospital insurance (Medicare Part A), medical insurance (Medicare Part B), and sometimes drug coverage (Part D).
Medicare Advantage Plans are very popular because they cover all Medicare services and make life a little easier for seniors who have trouble understanding the nuances of Medicare.
When you contact Senior Medicare Insurance Services to choose your Medicare Advantage Plan, ask your agent about Medicare prescription drug coverage. Unless you already have drug coverage (Part D), you should seriously consider Part D coverage to help reduce costs associated with prescription drugs. You may also want to consider a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan to help fill gaps in coverage that Original Medicare will not cover.
Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance Rules
Medicare works by paying a set amount of money to the companies that offer senior Medicare Advantage Plan insurance in Beaufort. That money is used to pay for the care services that you need. Because Medicare Advantage Plans are different, you should expect out-of-pocket costs to vary depending on the plan you choose.
Different plans have different rules for how you receive services, such as:
If you must go to facilities, suppliers, or doctors that belong to your Advantage Plan for non-urgent and non-emergency care.-
Whether you must get a referral to see a specialized doctor
Companies that offer Medicare Advantage Plans must follow strict rules, which are set by Medicare and can change every year.
Paying for Your Senior Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance
How much you pay for your Medicare Advantage Plan varies and depends on a few different factors. In most cases, if you need a kind of medical service, you will need to rely on the doctors and providers in your plan's service area and network to pay the lowest amounts. In some cases, if you choose to use a service outside of your plan's network of coverage, you may have to pay out-of-pocket.
We encourage you to contact our office today to learn more about Medicare Advantage Plans, how they work, what your options are, and how often you will have to pay out-of-pocket, if at all.

The Island News
A North Carolina man drowned at Hunting Island State Park just after noon on Friday, July 4, while trying to save his children.
The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office, on Saturday morning, identified the deceased as 38-year-old Paul Peters from Indian Trail, N.C.
Peters and his wife, Emily, and their two children – Asher, 4, and Ezra, 7 — were in Beaufort County on vacation, according to a source at the scene of the incident.
According to witnesses at the scene, between 11:35 and 11:40 a.m., on Hunting Island’s North Beach, Peters went in the water to assist his children, who were “in trouble” in the water. Peters reached the children, but according to witnesses, was caught in a rip current and began to struggle.
Several men went in to the water to help. They were able to get the children to safety, but by the time they could get Peters to shore, he had been under the water for some time.
Bystanders started to perform CPR, and EMS continued the life-saving efforts upon arrival. According to witnesses, EMS, “pumped a bunch of water out, but he never regained consciousness.”
The Coroner’s Office declared him dead, on scene, at 12:10 p.m.
Sixteen-year-old Taylor Durrance of Beaufort and her family were in the middle of the rescue efforts on Friday.
Durrance said she was sitting on the beach, listening to music, when she got a strange feeling. She said she looked up and realized something was happening.
“I saw people surrounding this man on the beach,” she said. “I didn’t really see them doing CPR yet, I think they had just [dragged] him on shore.”
She said she called out to her father, Bryan, and her brother, Matthew, that she thought this man was drowning.
“That’s when my brother found out his little boys were drowning as well,” she said.
Taylor Durrance said Ezra was pulled out of the water first, but she didn’t believe he was actually drowning but had “just swallowed some water.”
Asher was being helped by “a man in pink shorts,” though they were repeatedly being pulled back in the current.
Matthew Durrance, 22, went out into the water and retrieved Asher from the man and brought him to Taylor.
Taylor Durrance said she continued to slap Asher’s back, getting the water out of him a bit at a time, until there was one big cough and he got rid of most of the water and could breathe.
She said when the 4 year old was able to talk, he immediately asked, “Where’s my dad?”
“It just broke my heart,” she said.
While all of this was happening, Taylor Durrance said her father, Bryan Durrance, was among the group of bystanders surrounding Paul Peters and performing CPR. She said Emily Peters asked her to watch her children while she joined the group of people tending to her husband.
Taylor Durrance said the whole situation was “really sad” and a bit surreal. It might sound strange, she said, but “It felt kind of … quiet.”
This is the second drowning this week at Hunting Island. Steven Thackston, a 65-year-old male from Decatur, Ga., was pronounced dead from drowning at approximately 4:45 p.m., Tuesday, July 1, according to the Beaufort County Coroner’s Office.
The red flag was flying at Hunting Island’s North Beach on Friday, which indicates High Hazard, meaning the surf is hazardous, often due to strong currents, high waves, or other unsafe conditions.
Under a red flag, swimming is often prohibited, and not recommended for anyone other than experienced, strong swimmers.
When speaking with The Island News, Durrance said she wouldn’t have normally talked about an event like this, but she struggled to sleep Friday night, and every time she closed her eyes, she kept reliving the event.
She felt like those not from the Beaufort area might not realize just how serious the conditions can be at Hunting Island.
“These oceans aren’t what they think they are,” she said. “They have to be aware of the currents. If it’s a red flag, don’t go in the water.”

Another Buc-ee's opens on I-95, just down the road from its next SC location

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — With almost 40 minutes to sunrise, a line of unabashed fans hugged the sidewalk of a roadside gas station.
Just outside the electric sliding doors were Elsie Miyamura and Fred Morrow, a Hawaiian couple who staked their spot at 2 a.m. They would soon be the first customers at Buc-ee’s inaugural coastal Georgia location on Interstate 95.
Since its founding in Texas in 1982, Buc-ee's has spread its buck-toothed mascot, barbecue brisket and pristine bathrooms around the country.
The company opened its first South Carolina spot in 2022 in Florence.
“This is not a gas station; this is a destination,” S.C. House Speaker Murrell Smith, R-Sumter, announced to the grand opening crowd of the 53,000-square-foot, 120-pump Florence location at the juncture of Interstate 95 and S.C. Highway 327.
And the brand aspires to grow its empire throughout the Palmetto State. A Hardeeville location is planned to open in 2028, and according to City Manager Josh Gruber, the project is in the permitting stage.
Some 165 miles south of Florence, Hardeeville City Council approved in November a development that will bring a Buc-ee's off Exit 8 of I-95 95 near Hilton Head and Savannah.
Buc-ee's wants to open in Hardeeville to attract drivers along the southern I-95 corridor in South Carolina, Scott Ratcliff, the company's director of engineering, said at the time.
The retailer hopes to "pull in weary travelers," he said.
If the daily scene in Florence is any indication, this new location will have no problem doing that.
"You're going to bring a lot of benefit to our area," Hardeeville Mayor Harry Williams told Ratcliff in November.
Hardeeville officials said the new Buc-ee's compound will bring around 200 jobs. The company advertises pay scales from $16 an hour for cashiers and stockers, to $20 an hour for bathroom attendants and more than $100,000 for managers — with the general manager capable of earning more than $225,000.
The store will generate new property, hospitality and sales tax revenues for Hardeeville.
The store will be along a 10-mile stretch of I-95 that the S.C. Department of Transportation is working to improve and revitalize. The construction zone runs from the Savannah River to just north of U.S. Highway 278, which carries travelers into Jasper County and parts of Beaufort County, including Bluffton and Hilton Head Island.
Among the improvements are widening the highway from to six lanes from four, replacing bridges and enhancing two exits, including the off-ramp that will take traffic to the future Buc-ee's site.
An opening in Georgia
As the clock ticked toward the 6 a.m. door unlocking, the crowd in Brunswick cheered at five minute milestones. Morrow, 69, and Miyamura, 75, waited for this moment — a few weeks prior, they attended a Buc-ee’s opening in Harrison County, Miss. The couple couldn’t pass up a chance to wear shirts they purchased just a road trip away. Miyaumura aspires to witness the chain’s first opening in Arizona.
Past the die-hard enthusiasts further up the line were the early risers. Landen Wade and Lane Anderson, 12-year-old best friends, woke at 4:30 a.m. from their sleepover to attend.
As most of the Lowcountry snoozed, Wade wanted to start his day with beef jerky. Asked what type of dehydrated meat he desired, he asked:
“There are flavors of beef jerky?”
It was a gobsmacking moment that opened a new world for the miniature meat mogul.
Buc-ee's pitmaster Randy Pauly finally ended the torturous waiting period. Management cheered, and a life-sized Buc-ee danced as customers christened the store. In the center of the 74,000-square-foot building was a barbecue station, where a man slapped speckled meat onto a cutting board about the size of a New York City apartment.
“Brisket on the board!” staff yelled, while a man holding a knife with handles on each side of the blade chopped away.
At any given time, 115 staffers work at this Buc-ee’s. Wearing red, they constantly clean and tweaked, correcting any piece of merchandise that a customer had pulled out of alignment.
Balls of dough became fresh tortillas and then tacos filled with ice cream scoops of scrambled eggs. Staff plied customers with samples of fudge and hot and spicy jerky. Frozen raw chickens were stuffed with dirty rice or crawfish jambalaya.
Harkening back to its Lone Star roots, longhorn skulls lined the store’s shelves. Ketchup-based barbecue sauce was available for purchase. Among the gas station’s 35,000 items, mustard-based Carolina Gold was not an option.
With an inflatable beaver at their backs, local politicians boasted about their shining new superstore at a late morning ribbon cutting. Among them was U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who is running for U.S. Senate, and called Buc-ee's the "Disney World" of gas stations.
"Buc-ee's, you have made a wise decision. You have chosen an area that you will find is so inviting," he said.
Inside the store, located about two hours south of Bluffton, copies of Willie Nelson’s “Letters to America” were nestled among cowhide beer koozies. Beverage dispensers shaped like gas pumps were available, smaller versions of the 120 fuel stations outside. And there was plenty of Buc-ee’s swag: banana pudding-scented candles, neck rests, phone holders and dancing beavers among them.
Buc-ee’s plans to stay open every hour of every day. Director of Operations Josh Smith said the store’s generator supplies “indefinite power” to every single aspect of the store.
As hurricane season begins, Smith thinks Buc-ee's is ready for whatever Mother Nature throws its way, in jest pitting its disaster response against another Southern staple.
“Waffle House will actually close,” Smith said. “We won’t.”
New Bordertown BBQ to bring Texas barbecue to Beaufort

The BBQ scene in Beaufort will soon be smokin’ even hotter with the addition of the new Bordertown BBQ restaurant to Beaufort Town Center this upcoming fall.
The new spot will be replacing the former Home Slice Pizzeria at 2001 Boundary Street, located behind Starbucks next to the old Quality Inn hotel.
“We’ll be offering a mix of Texas-style barbecue, Mexican street flair and Southern hospitality,” restaurant co-owner, Kristen Miklinevich told us on Friday.
“We’ve done the work,” she said. “We’ve spent a great deal of time in Texas figuring out the real deal with BBQ, and co-owner Sam Kochan has owned and operated a Mexican Restaurant in Massachusetts for the past 14 years.”
“The close overlapping of Texas BBQ and Mexican cuisine is what makes our name Bordertown, and the inclusion of Mexican flavors to traditional Texas BBQ is what will make our menu different because they compliment one another,” she added.
That sounds fantastic to us!
The couple spent 14 years running successful spots in Massachusetts, including Mission Cantina and North Village Smokehouse, until they decided to move south in 2024.
According to Kristen, the key to their taste is “Central Texas-inspired slow smoked meats on a 1000 gallon stick burner.” She said that the smoker will be kept outside of the restaurant, and will be smoking nearly all the time, adding a robust scent to the air around Town Center.
The menu will include brisket, along with other smoked items, Mexican-inspired street tacos and all the traditional sides you would expect from a BBQ restaurant. Kristen said that other meats will be sold by the pound to give that consummate Texas feel, along with lunch and dinner specials, huge combo platters, and brunch options as well.
Texas BBQ is in a class by itself. Along with big plates and portions, the focus of Texas BBQ is on the natural flavor of the beef, pork, or ribs, enhanced only by a perfectly balanced smoky bark; instead of drowning it in sauces.
“Fate brought us to Beaufort,” she said. “Sam has been a chef for years and is incredibly talented and his passion for cooking the best tasting foods is complimented by his using quality ingredients.”
“A brisket takes 12 hours,” Sam said. “Which means I’m starting most days at 1am, because that’s what real barbecue is.”
“We are excited to have a little something for everyone at Bordertown,” Kristen added.
In the bar, we were told that their margaritas are made with fresh-squeezed juices, because they wouldn’t serve anything that they wouldn’t eat or drink themselves.
Additional plans include a honky-tonk style bar in the back of the restaurant with live music, event space and a late-night vibe on the outdoor patio.
The couple plans to open the restaurant in mid-October, with hours of operation scheduled four to five days a week from 11:30am to 9pm. Then expanding on days/hours after they get their feet wet for a little while.
The Beaufort area BBQ scene has taken a few hits over the past few years with the closure of both the popular Dukes BBQ, K.C. Mike’s, and Sgt. White’s. Bordertown will be joining 4 or 5 other BBQ spots currently in the area, but will be the only one to focus on Texas-style offerings.
