Medicare

What is Medicare?

Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people who are 65 or older. It also covers certain younger people with disabilities and those with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), which is permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant.

Parts of Medicare:

Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.
Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers certain doctor’s services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Adds prescription drug coverage to Original Medicare. These plans are offered by insurance companies and other private companies approved by Medicare.

Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap)

Original Medicare covers many healthcare services and supplies, but it doesn’t pay all the healthcare costs. Medicare Supplement Plans, also known as Medigap plans, help fill the “gaps” in Original Medicare coverage. They are offered by private companies and pay for the portion of Medicare approved care that Medicare does not pay for (such as deductible, co-pays and coinsurance.)
