What to know about
Medicare
Are you aware of what Medicare can do for you? Do you know how to access parts A-D? If you have a moment, we'd love to explain it.
What it is
Medicare is a form of healthcare that is provided through the government. While it is most common for those over the age of 65 to use it, it is not limited to that group as some with certain disabilities can use it before that age. It is split up into four parts, A-D. Parts A and B are done through the government. Parts C and D are provided through insurance companies.
The ABC's (and D)
Parts A and B are known as "Original Medicare". Those two parts are provided through the Government. Part A covers hospital costs like inpatient care and skilled nursing facilities. Part B covers outpatient costs like doctor visits and medical equipment. While Part A has an opportunity for a zero-dollar premium, the cost of Part B is based on your income and whether or not you are receiving Social Security benefits. The coverage of parts A and B can be expanded by Medicare Supplement Insurance, or "Medigap" plans provided through insurance carriers. Part D is an optional, stand alone prescription drug plan. Part C is also known as "Medicare Advantage" plans. These are plans provided by insurance companies that provide the coverage of parts A, B, and sometimes D as well.
