Medicare Insurance

Medicare is divided into different parts, each covering specific services.

1. Medicare Parts:

Part A (Hospital Insurance):

Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care. Most people don’t pay a premium for Part A if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while working.

Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers outpatient care, doctor visits, preventive services, and some home health care. Part B requires a monthly premium.

Part C (Medicare Advantage): An alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) offered by private insurers. These plans often include additional benefits like vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage. They usually have networks of providers.

Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Covers prescription medications. Part D plans are offered by private insurers and require a separate premium.

2. Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap): Medigap:

Private insurance that helps cover costs not covered by Original Medicare, such as co-payments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Different Medigap plans offer different levels of coverage.
