Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 years or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with permanent kidney failure with dialysis or a transplant.
You can get most Medicare benefits by learning what Medicare covers and by taking advantage of all that Medicare has to offer.. Medicare has the following parts: Part A (Hospital Insurance)
Helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals. Part A also helps cover a skilled nursing facility (following a three night hospital stay and discharge to a Medicare approved skilled nursing facility), hospice and home health care if you meet certain conditions. Part B (Medical Insurance)
Helps cover medically necessary services like doctors’ services and outpatient care. Part B also helps cover some preventive services to maintain your health and to keep certain other illnesses from getting worse. Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans)
Combines Part A, Part B, and sometimes Part D coverage. These plans must cover medically-necessary services and can charge different copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage)
May help lower your prescription drug costs and help protect against higher costs in the future.
Be sure to sign up for Medicare about three months before you reach age 65. You are eligible for premium-free Part A if you are age 65 or older and you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least ten years.
Part B premiums are deducted monthly from your Social Security, Railroad Retirement or Civil Service Retirement check.
Part C Medicare Advantage Plans are health plan option approved by Medicare and run by private companies. Plans include HMOs and PPOs offering point-of-service options.
