Q&A
Medicare Common Questions and Answers
What is Medicare, and who qualifies for it?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older. You may also qualify if you're under 65 and have a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Eligibility typically starts three months before your 65th birthday and continues for a total of seven months.
What are the different parts of Medicare, and what do they cover?
- Part A: Hospital insurance (inpatient care, skilled nursing, hospice)
- Part B: Medical insurance (doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services)
- Part C (Medicare Advantage): All-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, often includes dental, vision, and wellness programs
- Part D: Prescription drug coverage
What’s the difference between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare?
Original Medicare includes Part A and Part B and allows you to see any provider that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and may offer additional benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and gym memberships. They often have network restrictions.
Does Medicare cover prescription drugs?
Prescription drug coverage is not included in Original Medicare. You can get coverage through a standalone Part D plan or through a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage.
How much does Medicare cost?
Part A is usually premium-free if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes while working. Part B requires a monthly premium. Part C and Part D costs vary depending on the plan. You may also have deductibles, copays, or coinsurance.
