Medicare is the federal health insurance program that provides individuals who are 65 and older, or those with disabilities, with healthcare coverage. Those about to turn 65 will become eligible to enroll in Medicare three months before turning 65. This marks the beginning of the Initial Enrollment Period, which will then end three months after you have turned 65. This gives you a seven-month period to enroll in Medicare.
There are multiple parts of Medicare that every new Medicare beneficiary should be aware of to better understand which part would work best for their particular situation.
Medicare – An Explanation
Original Medicare
Original Medicare combines coverage from Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A serves as hospital insurance and provides coverage for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, home health care, and hospice care.
Medicare Part B serves as medical insurance and provides coverage for provider services, ambulance services, home health services, preventive services, durable medical equipment, x-rays and lab tests, and some outpatient prescriptions.
Medicare Supplements
Medicare Advantage
To enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you must be enrolled in Original Medicare. If you were to ever drop your Part B coverage, you would lose your Medicare Advantage plan
Medicare Part D
Medicare requires Part D plans to cover at least two drugs from each class. However, they must cover all drugs that fall into these specific classes:
HIV/AIDS drugs
Anticancer
Anticonvulsants
Antipsychotics
Antidepressants
Immunosuppressants
Common vaccines
