    These materials provide a comprehensive look at Medicare and Medicaid updates for 2026, highlighting significant shifts in what services will be financed. Key changes include the exclusion of weight-loss medications and new, rigorous limitations on telehealth and supplemental benefits for chronic conditions. The documents contrast Original Medicare with private Medicare Advantage plans, detailing how each handles essential care such as skilled nursing facilities and hospital stays. Readers are also warned about traditional gaps in coverage, specifically for routine dental, vision, and international travel expenses. Furthermore, the guides outline enrollment periods and financial responsibilities, such as deductibles and coinsurance, to help beneficiaries prepare for out-of-pocket costs. Altogether, these sources serve as a roadmap for navigating the evolving federal healthcare landscape and its impact on retiree benefits.
