What is Medicare?

Medicare has four Parts:

1. Part A - Hospital Insurance (Click for more information)
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) helps cover inpatient care in hospitals, including critical access hospitals and skilled nursing facilities (not custodial or long-term care). It also helps cover hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part A and Part B are referred to as Original Medicare.

2. Part B - Medical Insurance (Click for more information)
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps pay for doctors' services, outpatient hospital care, and some other medical services that Part A does not cover. Part B helps pay for these covered services and supplies when they are medically necessary. Medicare Part A and Part B are referred to as Original Medicare.

3. Part C - Medicare Advantage Program (Click for more information)
Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is obtained through private insurers.


4. Part D - Prescription Drug Coverage (Click for more information)
Medicare Part D is insurance that covers both brand name and generic prescription drugs at participating pharmacies in your area. Medicare prescription drug coverage provides protection for people who have very high drug costs and insurance for those with future drug needs.
