Exploring Medicare Parts A and B
Medicare, the federal health insurance program for those 65 and older, or for certain younger individuals with disabilities, is divided into several parts. Part A is your hospital insurance. It covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care. Meanwhile, Part B is medical insurance that covers outpatient care, doctor services, preventive services, and some home health visits.
The Benefits of Medicare Part C
Medicare Advantage Plans, known as Part C, offer an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B). These are offered by private companies approved by Medicare and include all Part A and B benefits, often with additional benefits like vision, dental, and hearing, plus prescription drug coverage.
Prescription Coverage with Medicare Part D
For prescription drugs, Medicare Part D comes into play. This stand-alone prescription drug coverage helps cover the cost of prescription medications and can be added to Original Medicare or included within a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C).
How They Work Together
Understanding how these parts work together can help ensure comprehensive coverage. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) lays the foundation, while Parts C and D offer expanded benefits and cost-saving options. Each beneficiary can choose the combination of parts that best fits their healthcare needs.
