Original Medicare is the United States’ federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older. It is also available for certain people younger than 65 with disabilities or people with End-Stage Renal Disease. There are several parts to Medicare that contain different coverage.
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing, hospice, surgery, and home healthcare. Deductibles and cost-sharing will apply. Most folks will not have to pay Part A premiums.
Medicare Part B covers doctor visits, preventative, outpatient services, and lab tests. Deductible and cost-share will apply. Part A and B comprise what is known as “original medicare.”
Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, takes the original medicare and privatizes it. In other words, a Medicare Advantage plan bundles Part A, Part B, and usually Part D into one single comprehensive plan with a private carrier.
Medicare Part D is also known as prescription drug coverage. Part D coverage is available as a Stand Alone Option (PDP) or as part of a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C). Part D plans are offered by private insurance companies contracted and approved by Medicare.
