Medicare is confusing! We are here to make it simple. With so many things to consider, deciding your coverage is intimidating—that’s why Med-Advisors.com is here to help.
Medicare is a US Federal Government health payer program that provides payment coverage support for health and medical care. Started in 1965 to help those who could not afford health or medical care in their retirement years, or who were totally disabled from certain diseases like end-stage renal disease.
When an American citizen turns 65, you are eligible for Medicare. The different “parts” refer to the different types of payment support and coverage provided by Medicare.
All Medicare recipients get minimal, basic payment assistance for Parts A, B & D covering hospital stays, doctor visits and to pay for some drugs. The extra costs will come in the form of premiums and/or co-pays to be paid by you. If you find that Original Medicare alone does not cover all of your healthcare needs, you have options.
