Medicare Insurance — Understanding the Coverage You Need

Affordable health care is now within reach with Medicare plans to protect you and your loved ones.

What Is Medicare?

Medicare is the United States funded national health insurance program. Basic coverage comes in two different parts — Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. Medicare Part A covers hospital stays, nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health care. Medicare Part B covers doctor visits, preventive screenings, certain vaccinations, lab tests, and other medical care.

Who Qualifies For Medicare?

Generally, people think Medicare is only for those who are retired. While it is true that those who are over 65 years of age qualify, there are others who can also receive Medicare. These include those with certain disabilities who are under the age of 65 and those who have kidney failure.

Are There Other Types of Medicare?

Yes, there are two other types besides Part A and B:

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Plan)

Under the administration of Medicare, Medicare Part C is a basic combination of Medicare Parts A and B, combining both hospital and medical care under one plan.

Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Plan) – an optional program that those who already have a Medicare plan can add to their insurance plan that covers prescription drugs
