Medicare Personal Plan Finder Help

Navigation

There are 2 new ways you can move around within the site:

1. Breadcrumbs Navigation Trail: Breadcrumbs tell you where you are in relation to the rest of the website by showing a path or trail of the pages you visit. Breadcrumbs consist of hyperlinks to the main web pages you visit so that you can quickly move around the site without having to use your browser's "back" button. An example of a breadcrumb navigation bar appears below. This example tells you that you are at the "Basic Report" page in the Cost and Benefits section of the Medicare Personal Plan Finder.

   

2. Tabbed Menu Bar: In the upper portion of the web page you will see different "tabs" with linking words on each tab, going horizontally across the page. These tabs take you to information about the particular area you are at in the website. The tab that is highlighted indicates the page you are on while the other are "faded" in the background. An example of a tabbed menu navigation bar appears below. This example tells you that you are at the "OOPC High Cost Conditions" page within the Out-of-Pocket Costs section of the Medicare Personal Plan Finder.
