Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States designed mainly for people aged 65 and older, but it also covers certain younger individuals with disabilities or specific medical conditions.
Medicare is available to:
- People aged 65 or older
- Individuals under 65 with qualifying disabilities
- People with End-Stage Renal Disease or ALS
Part A: Hospital Insurance
Covers hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice services, and some home health care.
Part B: Medical Insurance
Covers doctor visits, specialist appointments, outpatient care, lab tests, preventive care, and medical supplies.
Part C: Medicare Advantage
Offered through private insurance companies. Combines Part A and Part B, and often includes added benefits like dental, vision, hearing, transportation, and prescription drug coverage.
Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage
Helps pay for prescription medications, both generic and brand-name drugs.
Healthcare becomes more important with age, and Medicare helps reduce the high costs of medical care. It gives seniors access to trusted doctors, essential treatments, and prescription drugs so they can stay healthy and enjoy retirement with confidence.
