What Does Medicare Cover in General?

Medicare is a federally-funded health insurance program that covers eligible individuals 65 years or older, as well as those under 65 who have specific disabilities or end-stage renal disease. Medicare generally covers hospitalization, doctor visits, preventive services, and some prescription drugs administered in a hospital or by a doctor in their clinic.

Individuals may enroll in Medicare Part A & B through the federal government's website or by contacting their local Social Security office. Generally, individuals who are already receiving Social Security benefits will be automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. However, those not receiving Social Security benefits must enroll in Medicare actively. Parts C and D also require active enrollment with a private health plan.
Medicare Part A

Medicare Part A covers hospital inpatient costs if you are admitted to a hospital by a doctor, in addition to hospice care, some at-home care, and some skilled nursing facility care.

  • Hospital care (inpatient)
  • Limited home health services
  • Temporary care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) after an inpatient hospital stay,provided that custodial care not be the only care required
  • Hospice care
Medicare Part B

What it Covers

  • Rehabilitation services and physical therapy
  • Cardiovascular, cancer, and diabetes screenings
  • Mental health services

Medicare Part C

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage plans, are offered by Medicare-approved private companies that must follow rules set by Medicare. It includes all the coverage of Medicare Parts A and B, and some plans may include additional coverage for services such as dental care (including X-Rays), vision care, and hearing care, plus some fitness benefits (such as coverage for gym memberships).

Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs not covered by Part B, which covers medication that needs to be administered by a doctor (such as injections). Part D covers outpatient prescription drugs, like those picked up at the pharmacy or delivered in the mail.

What You Need to Know About Medicare Supplement Insurance

If you're enrolled in Medicare, you may be considering purchasing a Medigap (also called Medicare Supplement) policy to help cover some "gaps" in Original Medicare coverage. Medigap is private health insurance that can help pay for out-of-pocket costs not covered by Medicare, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.

In most states, 10 government-standardized Medigap plan types are available, which differ in coverage, premiums, and cost-sharing features. When deciding whether to purchase a Medigap policy, you must consider your health care needs and budget to determine which type of policy makes the most sense for you.

Comparison Of Medicare Supplement Plans

Many Medicare Supplement Plans are available, and it can be difficult to know which is right for you. Medicare supplement plans are regulated by state and federal laws, which means that the primary benefits offered by lettered supplementary plans (A, B, C, etc.) are the same, regardless of the insurance company. The significant difference will be in cost, which varies by insurance provider.

No matter which plan you choose, you'll need to pay a monthly premium in addition to your Medicare Part B premium. You may also be responsible for meeting an annual deductible before your coverage kicks in.
Who Should Buy Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Because Original Medicare is not a fully comprehensive insurance plan, many individuals with advanced medical and healthcare needs may desire additional coverage. If you become seriously ill or injured, your out-of-pocket medical expenses may be extremely high. Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) plan may reduce some of those out of pocket costs.
How do I get a Medicare Supplement Insurance plan?
Medicare Supplement insurance plans can only be purchased if you already have Medicare coverage (Parts A and B). If you do, you can purchase Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans from private insurance companies.
Medicare Part A, B & Medigap
Medigap is a supplementary plan designed to cover healthcare costs not covered by Medicare. It can only be purchased by individuals already enrolled in Medicare Part A and B. If you choose to enroll in a Medigap policy, you will pay a private insurance company a monthly premium, in addition to the premium you pay for your Part B Medicare plan. A Medigap policy only covers one person and can only be purchased from private insurance companies.

*Note beneficiaries can have Medicare Advantage or Medigap, but not both.
