Illinois expanded Medicaid in 2014 and covers over 3.8 million residents through Medicaid — one of the highest enrollment rates in the Midwest. GetCoveredIllinois (the ACA marketplace) covers 400,000+ residents. Medicare covers 2.2 million Illinoisans, with Medicare Advantage penetration exceeding 50% in the Chicago metro.
Illinois residents turning 65 have two main Medicare paths: Original Medicare (Parts A + B) with an optional Supplement plan, or Medicare Advantage (Part C) from a private carrier. Each path has different costs, network rules, and out-of-pocket limits. The right choice depends on your health needs, preferred doctors, and financial situation.
Missing your Initial Enrollment Period can result in a permanent Part B late enrollment penalty of 10% for every 12 months you delayed. Getting guidance before your 65th birthday — ideally 3 months before — is essential.
