Medicare
Medicare is a federal program to help older Americans and some disabled
Americans pay for the high cost of health care. Medicare health plans
provide different ways to get your health care coverage. The Medicare health
plan that you choose affects many things like cost, benefits, doctor choice,
convenience, and quality. Need some help understanding your choices for
Medicare coverage? Here is a brief explanation of the types of Medicare
plans available to you.
The Original Medicare Plan - Original Medicare (covered by the
government) pays for many health care services and supplies, but it doesn't
pay all of your health care costs. There are costs that you must pay, like
coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles. These costs are called 'gaps' in
Medicare coverage. You might want to consider buying a Medicare Supplement
policy to cover these gaps in coverage. You can also add prescription drug
coverage by joining a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. With Original Medicare
coverage, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans - These are health insurance
policies sold by insurance companies to fill the "gaps" in the Original
Medicare Plan. Medicare Supplement policies help you pay some of the health
care costs that the Original Medicare Plan doesn't cover. To learn more about
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, and go over your options, complete the
