Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals age 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. It’s divided into different parts to cover specific healthcare services:
Original Medicare
Part A and Part B coverage for hospital stays, doctor visits, and outpatient care.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
All-in-one plans that combine hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage.
Medicare Part D
Prescription drug plans to help reduce your out-of-pocket medication costs.
Medicare is available for individuals who meet the following criteria:
A: Original Medicare includes Part A and Part B, while Medicare Advantage (Part C) combines those coverages and often adds prescription drug benefits.
Q: When can I enroll in Medicare?A: You can enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which starts three months before your 65th birthday and lasts for seven months. Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs) may also apply.
Q: Do I need Medicare Part D if I don’t take prescription drugs?A: While it’s not mandatory, enrolling in Part D can protect you from higher costs later if you need medications in the future.
