What Is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States primarily for individuals aged 65 and older. It also covers some younger people with disabilities and specific medical conditions.
First, Medicare Part A provides hospital insurance, covering inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health services. Next, Medicare Part B offers medical insurance, including outpatient care, preventive services, and medical supplies. Additionally, Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. Transitioning to another option, Medicare Advantage (Part C) combines Parts A and B, and often Part D, through private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Overall, Medicare plays a crucial role in ensuring that millions of Americans have access to essential healthcare services.
