Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 or older and those with certain disabilities, encompassing various parts that cover specific services. Parts A and B cover hospital and medical services, respectively, while Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D provide alternatives for receiving benefits and prescription drug coverage. Additionally, Medicare Supplements help cover costs not included in Original Medicare. Understanding enrollment periods and eligibility for assistance programs like Extra Help is crucial for managing costs and ensuring comprehensive coverage as you approach eligibility.
