Medicare (Parts A & B)
Medicare is the federal government’s health insurance program for people 65 and older, or those with certain disabilities. Part A covers in-patient hospital care, nursing facility care, hospice care, and home health care. Part B covers outpatient services such as doctor visits, lab tests, medical equipment, and preventive care.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies that work with Medicare to provide Part A and Part B benefits. They often include additional benefits like prescription drug coverage, vision, dental, hearing services, and wellness programs. Medicare Advantage plans may also have different costs, rules, and restrictions compared to Original Medicare.
Prescription Drug (Part D)
Part D plans are stand-alone plans that offer prescription drug coverage to people with Medicare. These plans are also offered by private insurance companies, and premiums, deductibles, and copays can vary between plans.
