Types of Medicare: Medicare Part A, B, C, D & Medigap
Medicare Part A covers major and fatal illnesses as well as terminal care issues. Services may include inpatient hospital care, hospice care, home health care and a portion of nursing facility costs.
Medicare Part B covers minor health issues such as doctor's visits, doctor's care, physical and occupational therapy, if needed. It is basically maintenance and preventative coverage.
Medicare Part C is also called Medicare Advantage Plan that completely replaces Medicare Part A and Part B for people who cannot afford private insurance. The plan must be Medicare approved and an additional premium payment is required.
Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs. There are multiple plans to choose however co-payments and/or deductibles may be required.
Medigap is GAP coverage for people who do not fully qualify for parts of Medicare A, B, C or D. It covers co-pays, deductibles or other expenses not covered by Medicare programs. However, if you choose a Medicare Advantage Plan (Medicare Part C), your Medigap policy won't pay out.
Medicare is a great solution for many people including seniors who struggle to cover medical bills and prescriptions as well as basic health insurance coverage. Medicare helps those individuals who simply cannot afford the rising cost of health care.
