What is Medicare ?
Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program that provides comprehensive coverage for people over the age of 65, some individuals with disabilities, and those with end-stage renal disease. It is one of the largest government-funded programs in the United States and is an essential service for millions of Americans. Medicare not only covers medical care, but also prescription drugs, preventive services, and long-term care. Medicare was established by Congress in 1965, and it helps people with their medical expenses. Medicare is a federal program that is meant to provide health care coverage for older Americans. It is also available for people with disabilities and those who have end-stage renal disease.

TYPES OF MEDICARE
Medicare Part A
Medicare Part A is one of the four parts that make up the Medicare insurance program. It’s meant to cover health care costs for seniors and some disabled people who sign up for the program. Medicare Part A helps pay for hospital stays, home health visits, hospice care, and limited nursing facility services.
If you or your spouse paid enough into Social Security during your working years, this part of Medicare does not require a monthly premium. It does, however, charge copayments when you get medical services like an overnight stay in the hospital or a visit to a skilled nursing facility. Also, some things, such as long-lasting medical equipment or an ambulance ride to a medical facility, may come with extra costs.
Understanding your coverage under this part of Medicare is essential to ensuring you can access quality and timely healthcare services at an affordable price
Medicare Part B
Medicare Part B is an important component of Medicare, the national health insurance program for seniors and people with disabilities. It is a supplement to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and pays for things like doctor visits, lab tests, preventive care, medical equipment, mental health care services, and hospital care for people who don’t live in the hospital.
Medicare Part B helps beneficiaries pay for many medically-necessary treatments not covered by original Medicare. Individuals must be 65 years of age or older to be eligible for Part B coverage or have certain disabilities. Eligible people can sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan instead of their original Medicare to get extra benefits like coverage for their eyes and teeth.
Medicare Part c
The federal government provides health insurance coverage for millions of Americans through several programs, one of which is Medicare. Medicare Part C, also known as “Medicare Advantage,” is a type of health plan within the Medicare program that gives beneficiaries access to private insurance options for their medical care. It’s an important option for those who may not qualify for traditional Medicare because it can provide more comprehensive coverage and additional benefits like prescription drugs and vision care.
Medicare Part C plans are offered by private companies that contract with the government. These plans are required to cover all services provided by original Medicare (Parts A and B) plus additional benefits such as vision care or dental coverage. They also have a maximum out-of-pocket limit which helps protect you from high medical costs in case of illness or injury.
Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is a vital part of the Medicare program. It provides prescription drug coverage to all eligible Medicare beneficiaries through private insurance plans. Part D helps reduce the amount individuals pay out-of-pocket for their medications and covers many commonly prescribed drugs at lower prices than they would cost without insurance.
You don’t have to join a Medicare Part D plan, but if you don’t and later need coverage for prescription drugs, you may have to pay a fee. Beneficiaries should consider premiums, copayments, and deductibles when choosing a plan. They should also think about which drugs are covered by each plan. Furthermore, because plans can change on an annual basis, users must review their options on an annual basis to ensure they are getting the best value for their money.

questions
? Types of Coverage: What's Covered?
In general, Medicare provides hospital insurance, medical insurance and prescription drug coverage to its members. Hospital insurance helps cover inpatient care received in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. Medical insurance helps cover doctor visits, preventive services and other outpatient care. Prescription drug coverage helps with costs associated with certain medications that are prescribed by doctors and filled at pharmacies.
? How much it costs ?
The answer depends on the type of coverage you choose and your income level. The premiums for Medicare usually range from $144.60 to $491.60 per month, depending on the plan selected and any additional coverage purchased. For those with lower incomes, there are also programs such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income that can help reduce out-of-pocket costs. There may also be other deductions available if certain criteria are met, such as being disabled or having a chronic illness. Additionally, many people qualify for Part D prescription drug plans which can provide added benefits at a discounted rate.
? How to Apply ?
The first step is determining whether you're eligible for Medicare. You may be eligible because of your age or because you receive Social Security benefits or Railroad Retirement Board benefits. If you qualify, the next step is deciding which parts of Medicare will best suit your needs and budget: Parts A and B (Original Medicare), Part C (Medicare Advantage) and/or Part D (prescription drug coverage).
? Who's Eligible
Eligibility criteria vary depending on the type of Medicare plan chosen. Generally speaking, those who are 65 years old or older must have worked in the U.S. at least 10 years to be able to qualify for Original Medicare coverage which includes Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). Those under 65 may also qualify if they meet certain criteria like having a qualifying disability or end-stage renal disease.
