Understanding Medicare A, B, C, D and Medigap

Understanding Medicare: Parts A, B, C, D & Medigap

Medicare can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to help! Below is a simple breakdown of each part of Medicare and what it covers so you can make an informed decision about your healthcare.

Medicare Part A – Hospital Insurance

Medicare Part A covers hospital-related expenses, helping to manage the costs of inpatient care.

What’s Covered?
Inpatient hospital stays
Skilled nursing facility care (short-term, after a hospital stay)
Hospice care for terminal illnesses
Home health care for qualifying medical conditions

Medicare Part A is typically premium-free if you or your spouse have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years.

Medicare Part B – Medical Insurance

Medicare Part B covers routine and outpatient medical care, ensuring you have access to essential healthcare services.

What’s Covered?
Doctor visits and specialist care
Outpatient services (e.g., lab tests, X-rays, preventive care)
Home health care
Durable medical equipment (e.g., wheelchairs, oxygen supplies)

Medicare Part B requires a monthly premium based on your income.

Medicare Part C – Medicare Advantage

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, combines the benefits of Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) into one plan—and often includes additional benefits!

What’s Included?
Hospital & medical coverage (like Original Medicare)
Prescription drug coverage (often included)
Extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and wellness programs

Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and may have lower out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare.

Medicare Part D – Prescription Drug Coverage

Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription medications, ensuring you have access to the medications you need at an affordable price.

What’s Covered?
Brand-name and generic prescription drugs
Coverage through network pharmacies
Protection against high medication costs

Medicare Part D plans are offered by private insurers, so it’s important to choose a plan that covers your specific prescriptions.

Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance)

Medigap plans help cover the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t pay for, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.

Available Plans:
Plan A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N (Not all plans are available to all individuals)

Medigap plans work alongside Original Medicare to reduce your healthcare expenses.
