Medicare Options

• Original Medicare: This is the traditional Medicare program that includes Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance).

• Medicare Advantage: This is an alternative to Original Medicare that is offered by private insurance companies. Medicare Advantage plans often include additional benefits such as vision, hearing, and dental coverage.

• Medicare Supplement: Also known as Medigap, this type of insurance is used to supplement Original Medicare and can help cover out-of-pocket costs such as copayments and deductibles.

• Prescription Drug Coverage: This type of insurance, also known as Part D, helps cover the cost of prescription drugs.

• Medicare Special Needs Plans: These are plans that are designed for people with specific needs, such as those who live in a nursing home or have chronic medical conditions.

• Medicare Savings Programs: These are state-funded programs that help people with limited income and resources pay for Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

 

It is important to note that not all options are available everywhere, and availability may vary depending on location, and some options may have specific eligibility requirements.
