Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, and others with certain disabilities or conditions. It is divided into several parts, each designed to cover different aspects of healthcare needs:



• Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.
• Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
• Medicare Advantage (Part C): A private plan option that provides all Part A and Part B benefits and often includes additional benefits like drug coverage, dental, and vision.
• Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D): Adds prescription drug coverage to the Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Medicare Private-Fee-for-Service Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans.
