 Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program designed to offer basic and affordable coverage to eligible beneficiaries.

Generally, Medicare is for people 65 or older. You may be able to get Medicare earlier if you have a disability, End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant), or ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease).

The Parts of Medicare

Hospital Insurance

Part A

This part helps to cover your stay in a hopspital, skilled nursing facility, or hospice.

Medical Insurance

Part B

This part helps to cover doctors services, preventative care, durable medical equipment and other medical services

Original Medicare

Together Parts A and B are known as Original Medicare. It is administered directly by the federal government through Social Security enrollment.

Prescriptions

Part D

This part helps to cover the cost of many outpatient prescription drugs. 

Part D is either included in your Medicare Advantage Plan or it is a separate plan offered by insurance companies and approved my Medicare.

Part C

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Supplement

Part C is known as Medicare Advantage. It is and all-in-one plan that covers Part A, Part B, and sometimes Part D, dental, vision, over-the-counter items and more.

This is insurance you can buy from a private health insurance company to help pay your share of out-of-pocket costs in Original Medicare.
