Understanding Medicare: The Basics
Medicare has several parts, and we help you make sense of them all:
Part A – Hospital Insurance
Covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice, and some home health services.
Part B – Medical Insurance
Helps pay for doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, and durable medical equipment.
Part C – Medicare Advantage
All-in-one plans offered by private carriers. They often include extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and prescription drug coverage.
Part D – Prescription Drug Plans
Standalone plans that help cover the cost of prescription medications.
Medigap (Supplement Plans)
Helps cover some out-of-pocket costs not paid by Original Medicare, like copays and deductibles.
